Typical answer: it depends. It will certainly raise ABV if the volume of the fruit puree/slurry isn't diluted with a lot of water to offset or even reduce the overall ABV of the beer. Much like all ABV estimations we homebrewers do, testing the gravity of your fruit slurry is key. I have found...

I have been using the Inventory feature of BF more as of late. It's super handy to formulate a recipe to use up some of the older malt that I have remaining after batches. However, it is cumbersome trying to read through everything with all the (0) pound and duplicate entries. I can hide...

I use TiltPI to monitor the fermentation of my brews. The integration with BF is amazing, so thank you. Tracking lager gravity readings is key so I know when to perform my diacetyl rest. It would be great if I could set an alert notification in BF that emailed or sent me an SMS when gravity...

I'm referring to the page under 'My Brewing' > 'My Inventory'. When I sort by Amount by Unit - High-Low. It sorts correctly based on the singular unit of measurement; i.e. ounces and pounds. Inventory items with ounce measurements come first, in descending order, followed by pounds. I could...

Thanks

Often times I like to sort my BF inventory so I can see what base malts I have to work with. It seems to sort numerically by ounces then pounds, so I'm a bit confused. Not sure if it's unique to my inventory or an overall issue with the math in the background. I've attached images of how my...

I love the ability to tweak brewhouse efficiency in the recipe editor in Brewers Friend. I'm creating a recipe today and while I was working on it I had a few thoughts. Why not take the average of your last 5 or so brew-sessions and offer an automated brewhouse efficiency average (maybe 95th...

Would be willing to help!!

I've noticed the same thing as well. I've found another issue which may be in relation to some formula being flubbed when working with custom fermentables. Here's a picture of my custom fermentable, 35 ppg: Here's the same recipe just changed to the standard 6-row with the same ppg: The...

So I've been wanting to brew a Pliny the Elder clone for quite some time now. I found the recipe in the most recent issue of Zymurgy which is a repost from the 2009 recipe from Zymurgy. (https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6351/doubleIPA.pdf) My question is that I entered...

I've been meaning to send this request in for a while now. I've been using the iPhone app the last few brew days to give some feedback on it. I love the app but I have a few suggestions from using it. I always start a recipe into brew mode from my PC, get my things together and then use my...

I was kind of hoping just for a generalization of the malts; for example the pale wheat. But i'm not sure if other maltsters have anything like the Chateu grain available. I understand not wanting to clutter up the drop-down so I will add as custom fermentables. Thanks!

My LHBS stocks BSG malts. A lot of new Castle Belgian malts have been available to me but I haven't seen the choices in the malt drop-down in the recipe builders. I'm not sure if there is another thread with this request, but I was wondering if you could add these malts in the next release. I'll...

Re: calories? So is the calorie counter only applicable to lifetime members? I"m a premium member and I do not see it under any of my recipes or brew sessions.

Re: Ability to organize recipes and brews into folders This is such an awesome idea. I like it!

I use the mash infusion calculator with every batch that I brew. I usually use it in the "Mash Calculator" tab in the recipe builder. The Water volume is automatically calculated on the right side. I like to split my infusion volume with my sparge water volume 50/50. Depending if I'm doing a...

I plan on using the app this weekend for a brew session. I'll let you know how things go! My biggest gotcha is not syncing with my online profile, but I know you are working on that. Timers and mash calculators are next in line.

Thumbs up!! :mrgreen:

I've been looking for this one too. Glad its live!!

I'm looking for something that I can use on any forum, generated from my information in BF. Something like: Ryan's Brewers Friend Pipeline: (nifty graphic text & URL link to public profile here) Brewing soon: (could be based off new calendar feature??) Primary: Based off what's in "Primary"...
