Am I Reading your Volume correctly in BFF as 0.6 l?

Well that could be due to the differences in the algorithms. I’ll check it out here in a bit.

What are the grain bill, mineral additions, source water, and acid additions? I know a thing or two about pH estimation so I’m sure I can help troubleshoot.

I’m going to dig and find out what the factor of 100 is doing. I always thought it was a consequence of dealing with the percentages so I should be able to eliminate it. First now: °P/°Bx = 100 * ( ( 0.1 * ( 39 / 46.21 ) ) / ( ( 0.1 * ( 39 / 46.21 ) ) + 20 ) )

Ok. Let me make a quick distinction at the outset here by defining Maximum Extract Potential versus Dissolved Extract: Maximum Extract Potential (kg) = Fermentable Mass (kg) * Fine Grind (As-Is) Extract (%) where FGAI (%) for Malt = Fine Grind (Dry Basis) Extract (%) * (1 - Moisture Content...

Let me pull my actual calcs from my extract troubleshooter. I whipped this up late last night from Braukaiser but I know that my calcs have a simpler format. Give me a little bit and I’ll post up a better calc with more detail.

Trappist Please!

Let’s say we want to use DME with a ppg of 45. We need to compare that to Pure Sucrose to get the extract potential of the DME: 45 / 46.21 = ~ 0.973 or 97.3% Let’s assume we want to use 5 kg of DME into 32 l of water. We can then use the following formula: Gravity (Plato) = (100 * 5 *...

Just an update: I received some reply emails about my requests to the BF staff. I re-downloaded the program and Viola! Brew Day button was right where it was supposed to be. But...... ......when you edit your system settings and save, the brew day button disappears for good. Must be some...

Understood!

But it's advertised as part of the feature set. I've reached out to the developers to no avail.

Exactly. I'm just curious. I use ProMash but enjoy this interface and wanted to brew with it to see how I like. The summary page is attractive if I can find it!

How do you access the Brew Day Mode as shown in the screenshot on the download page?

How about the brew day view advertised? That is just a summary page and I can't seem to get to it. It is different from brew session portion of the website.

Anybody from Brewer's Friend want to chime in?
