Hello Brewers Friend Team First, thanks for making a great product. It has really help me improve my brewing! Keep up the great work. My input would be in the Mash Chemistry and Brewing Water Calculator section, have target water profiles based on BJCP styles. The selection of water...

You are right on, as I tweak the dead kettle amount in the numbers comes into line. My other error was to use 70% brew house efficiency with so much extra water, could never get to 70% My early batches had a lot of trub, now have a recirculating mash pump and used rice hulls last time and...

Preboil volume is 13.7 gal Boil off set to 1 gal / hour (Keggle) Fermenter target 11.0 gal (achieved) dead kettle set to 1.5 gal Recipe for this batch was updated from my initial recipe input from about 9 months ago. I have been tweaking profiles as I go. I think I am missing the starting...

Hello All, I have been using Brewers Friend for 1+ years, doing all grain 10 Gallon batches. Just got a refractometer to check preboil gravity, etc. Brewed Yoopers Oatmeal stout last weekend, to the base recipe (fantastic). Advance Recipe options and stats shows 'boil gravity' of 1.044. and...

Hi Ozark..... Thanks for the insight. Looking deeper into the notes I guess I am asking that the advanced water calculator be incorporated into the brew session model. The water chemistry in the brew session model is the simple version (no acid calculations). It would be nice to pull the...

Hi, Just wondering on the logic of having the IBU calculation for first wort hopping using 20 min as the time in boil? Why not the full boil time? They are in for the whole boil. The outside article's referenced in the documentation indicates the same IBU's to a 10% increase in IBU's using...

Hi Shaun, Thanks for the input, I now have it figured out. I was using the calculator on its own to understand how it works ( I am waiting on my water test from Ward labs). In the grist section, I did not have the Lovibond for each type of grist, so I was trying to use the beer color...

Hi Shaun, Its the advanced calculator (I think....10+ input sections) ** My Brewing ***My Water Calcs **** A saved Test Profile, using a full water report It is in the Grist Info section, ** Grist PH properties are based on 'Beer color' *** Grist Weight: Got It *** Beer Color SRM: Got...

Hello All Working to improve the water going into the beer using the water calc tools. Working my way through the calcs. Question on % roasted color input on the mash calcs. Documentation says input a % (25%, 50%, etc). Just trying to understand how to get that info, is the % of roasted...
