    Wort Shrinkage - no effect on water volumes?

    All good points! I originally started thinking about because I’m slowly moving away from Beersmith and migrating to Brewer’s Friend, and I couldn’t get the two softwares to produce the same water balances. Beersmith uses the cooling shrinkage in its calc, and Brewers Friend (BF), although you...

    Wort Shrinkage - no effect on water volumes?

    Not sure where you are trying to get to with your comment about changing it afterward; I made no mention of that!. You can enter 0, and it doesn't affect your water calcs or mash. The same when you set it at 10%. The way I figure it, the setting only tries to relate that the wort will be 4%...

    How to incorporate "Post Boil" water Top-up addition - All Grain

    So... Below is my recipe. Based on my equipment, I need to move 2.37 gal into fermenter to get desired final bottling quantity. Based on other losses, including boil off, etc., and not worrying about top up, my boil size would be 3.87 gal. Doing this, the OG and IBU line up with my...

    How to incorporate "Post Boil" water Top-up addition - All Grain

    All, After many extract brews, going to be starting my first all grain brew shortly, and have a question on how to set up my recipe in Brewer's friend. I am starting with 2.5 gallon batch size for a couple reasons, but one primary reason is that I am limited on boil size due to my Gigawort...
