    Suggestions for Quick-Carbing Hop Water?

    I'm fixin' to make 2 5-gal batches for a fest this weekend and am curious about carb level for this beverage. I like the level Lagunitas uses in Hoppy Refresher. I just have no idea to gauge how much pressure to use to achieve that 'soda water' level of carb without the body of a beer in play...

    Water Calc Work Around for Hop Water?

    I'm looking to get into making Hop Water and have found recommendations to target 3.2–3.6 pH before the hop addition(s). I tried playing with the Advanced Water Calc, but it seems the formulas require a malt bill. I managed to test Beer Color for Grist Info, choosing 0.1 oz and 0 SRM, but that...

    Make the Water Calc for both Mash & Boil - a total brew calc

    [Maybe this should be under Calculator Support, but I suspect it is working as designed, so I'm putting it under Feature Requests.] I sometimes need to hold back some or all of my salts to the boil, so as not to drop pH too far. And while I understand moving those additions to the kettle do not...

    Grab the RA targets from Recipe Editor to Water Calc

    I frequently have to bounce back and forth when doing a water calc between the Calc and the More section of the Recipe Editor to check if my RA is in line for the style. It would be nice if the style RA range was pulled into the Summary section and some indicator (similar to the ion level...

    Separate Post-Boil & Post-Chill log types

    It would be nice to have separate log types for Post-Boil and Post-Chill. (as I understand it, Post-Boil currently *is* Post-Chill, named 'Boil Complete' in the logs) This would aid in tracking loss to chilling, which I've found can vary considerably with the chilling method or equipment used...

    Add Log Entry Type(s) for conversion checks in the Mash

    We routinely check gravity, temp, and pH throughout our Mash process. We are currently using 'other' as the log entry type, but it would be nice to have a specific type for this (without defaulting each time to 'mash complete' type) and the ability to see this data on a graph just for the Mash...

    Track and update Equipment Profiles from log data

    Currently, I maintain a spreadsheet where I track various data points, such as: Grain Absorption Boil-off loss/rate Chilling loss Kettle loss Miscellaneous/plumbing losses Fermenter Trub loss Efficiency I'm taking that data from my various log entries. But if BF is already collecting that data...

    Please move some Profile-Editor settings to Equipment Profiles

    There are 4 settings in the General section of a user Profile under the Recipe Editor Settings heading that really should be part of the Equipment Profiles. Those are: Brewing Method Batch Size Target Default Batch Size Default Boil Size These preferences are dictated by the type and geometry...
