I've asked this before without any helpful replies. It would be great if someone could go in and try what I'm talking about and see what happens. Here goes: I put in a recipe in the recipe builder. I then go to build water in the advanced water calculator, importing the recipe I just created. In...

Hey, I have a pretty consistent problem using the advanced water calculator. I use IBrew Master on my phone usually when I start a recipe and it gives me a color (SRM). When I put the SRM in on Brewers Friend it comes up with a mash pH for the water that I put in. When I change it to Grain Bill...

Whole coffee beans in secondary=lots of coffee Flavor and no added color.

I'm interested!

That's the whole problem with this, it's telling me my mash pH is too high with this water and I have to add all kinds of stuff to get it where I want it (5.3-5.4) and by time I do the RA is negative. Makes me think I'm doing something wrong.

I think on the palmers graph if say you end up at 6 pH with the dark color above that means your water and base malt alone will give a pH of 6 and adding grains that gets you in the color range from above with shift you into the correct mash pH range. That's why i wondered maybe the pH on...

Yes I've put the grain bill bill in. Why I say that it doesn't seem right is that I've read dark beers should have an RA above 50. I'm also looking at palmers nomograph which if i put my water into says I should be able to brew a stout as is. Put the same water in Brewers friend and it shows a...

Hello all new here. I'm having trouble on the advanced calculator. Trying to figure out water for a stout. It seems no mater what I do I end up with RA around 0 or negative. As far as I know this is not right. My question is when I am making adjustments such as adding cacl or acid, am I supposed...
