    Audible timer request

    This is my once-every-couple-of-months-or-so request to either change the timer beeps to a lower frequency or give us the ability to choose our own sounds. The brew timers are simply worthless for those of us over 50 who abused our younger ears and cannot hear high frequencies. I have to...

    Conversion vs. "pre-boil" efficiency for BIAB

    How are you BIAB people measuring "conversion" versus "pre-boil" gravity for BIAB? I've been using BF for a couple of years and have always pulled the bag, squeeze, then enter the same number for my conversion and pre-boil gravity. A "eureka" moment caused me to ponder the fact that I've been...

    Can't hear alarms

    Those of us over a certain age simply cannot hear the beep at the end of a timer. It is too high pitched. Also, it goes off for, what, a second never to be heard from again. Is there a way to make an audible alarm that keeps beeping at a lower frequency?

    Late fermentable additions and "expected" boil gravity.

    OK, so I have the occasional brew that requires a late addition of sugar. The latest was a dubble that added 1lb of dark candi sugar in the last 5 minutes (the previous was a Pliny clone with 1lb of corn sugar). The problem is this: When I built the recipe, it calculates my "Boil gravity" as...

    No sound on Windows RT or Chromebook

    Hi, I have not tried this on a standard Win10/7 system, but in my brewery, I use either a Win RT or Chromebook. Neither gives a chime when the timers run out. Sound works on everything else. I'm a computer tech so know my way around but I've checked the obvious causes to no avail. Does BF...

    Beer menu

    I think this would be a cool feature. I am currently manually inputting the vital statistics of my beers that I currently have on tap into a check list. Checklist is synchronized to a tablet that I have close to my beer collection (taps and bottles). When I finish off a batch, I simply check...

    Predicting pre-boil gravity

    Hi there. 25 brew sessions so far. I just have to be missing this somewhere: I somehow manage to hit my final gravity numbers very closely in my BIAB setup. But I like to measure stuff along the way to see how I'm doing so that if I ever miss my pre-boil numbers, I can adjust if I need to...

    BIAB-specific effiency calcs

    BF seems to be geared to the 3-teir conventional brewer. I'd like to see more BIAB-specific features. For example, why must I enter both a "mash complete" and "preboil gravity"? They are the same thing in BIAB. There are at 1 or 2 additional gravity calculations that are unnecessary/duplicates...

    Synch between web and Android

    Surely this has been asked before but I could not find it in the forums. When I enter a recipe in my web browser on my computer, it often takes quite a long time to sync with my phone. I'm often well into the brew process before I can view the recipe on my phone. Sometimes it even takes hours...
