Good catch on temp correction on volume. I went back to brew log entries and made those corrections which changed volume by 0.1G and in turn lowered my end of boil efficiency by 1%. As for adding dilution water I siphoned off excess wort to bring down my pre boil volume down near what...

Thanks for the feedback :-). This wasn't the first time I'd brewed this recipe with my equipment and BIAB process, so, I had a good idea what my trub losses and efficiency into kettle should be when I laid this into Brewersfriend recipe editor and set up my equipment profile. The only new...

I know of only two methods of BIAB, BIAB (full volume mash) and Maxi-BIAB (mash water held back and used as sparge water when full mash volume is to big for your kettle). What other BIAB methods are you aware of? As for taking years to dial in ones process, with regards to hitting target...

I started with a full volume of water at mash (6.5G, no hold back). As I look back over my brew day notes my pre and post boil volume deltas were off from the recipe editors pre/post boil volume deltas by roughly 0.3G with all the dilution and siphoning going on to get to the pre boil target SG...

Recipe in attached screen shot. This is the fourth time I've brewed this recipe but first time using Brewersfriend. I went back and looked at my last 3 batches which were done using biabrewer.info Biabacus spreadsheet which predicted a pre boil gravity of 1.058. Ironically my initial pre boil...

I was 9 points short of my OG in the fermentor even though my pre-boil SG was spot on (after diluting to bring OG down due to an overly efficient mash and drawing excess wort off to hit my pre-boil volume). My post boil volume was spot on too. My trub loss in kettle post boil was 0.5 gallons...

...so I know in the future my true brew house efficiency (based on recipe editor) vs corrected brew house efficiency after adding DME? In my brew session log entries I captured my measured OG based on the recipe as "Boil Complete" entry and my corrected OG after adding DME+1L of water to bring...

Re: I missed my OG by 22 points but exceeded my pre-boil gra Except I've taken my actual batch measurements from the recipe's brew session tracked in brewersfriend and plugged those numbers back into the recipe editor and it still predicts the OG much higher than actual which means I'll always...

Re: I missed my OG by 22 points but exceeded my pre-boil gra Setting method to All Grain drops the OG only 3 points for batch type = fermentor, but still way off from my actual OG. At this point it appears for me to get accurate prediction of OG with the recipe editor use batch type of...

Re: I missed my OG by 22 points but exceeded my pre-boil gra I appreciate the feedback and that someone is reading my self discovery in this thread. I'm still concerned with the behavior of the predicted OG and how the uninitiated would design a new recipe with realistic targets. If I forget...

Re: I missed my OG by 22 points but exceeded my pre-boil gra See my post in the Recipe Editor forum on behavior I've now discovered with Batch Type and Batch Volume fields: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1820#p11511

Re: Recipe editor batch target = fermentor predicts to high I might have stumbled upon what's going on. My assumption in the Recipe editor was to set target batch size for the target batch type selected. My recipe target was for 2.5G into fermentor which predicted the OG to high. If I change...

Re: Recipe editor batch target = fermentor predicts to high It would help my mental process on this if I knew the equation the recipe editor uses to predict OG for the batch target type of "fermenter". My equipment profile had Kettle Deadspace set to 1.3G based on my experience from other...

I'm not confident the recipe editor is predicting OG properly when batch target is set to fermentor for BIAB brew method. I did my first brew using a recipe I scaled in Brewsfriend with batch target set to fermentor. It predicted a pre-boil gravity of 1.027 with 1.068 OG post boil (that should...

Re: I missed my OG by 22 points but exceeded my pre-boil gra I already felt I had my equipment losses dialed in after 10+ BIAB brews using the BIABACUS Excel spreadsheet from biabrewer.info website. I entered my brew house efficiency, mash to kettle transfer loss, boil off rate, and kettle dead...

Re: I missed my OG by 22 points but exceeded by pre-boil gra After a nights rest from a long brew day and reviewing all the numbers I should have been suspect on what the recipe was reporting. It predicted my pre-boil gravity of 1.027 (I actually hit 1.032, so, close) with a post boil gravity...

I'm scratching my head on this one. This is my first attempt using brewersfriend recipe tools and brew session tools. I was doing a 5G Heady Topper clone AG recipe from NB scaled down to 2.5G. I ended up with 0.5G more for my pre-boil volume and exceeded by pre-boil SG by 5 points. My post...

When I'm busy during a brew session it's easy to forget (especially for newbies) to take appropriate measurements during the process such as actual mash volume, mash pH at appropriate time intervals, end of mash gravity, volume into kettle/pre-boil vol, post boil gravity (OG). Also having pre...

It would be nice in the brew session steps to include the target strike temp if available from the mash calculator tab or at minimum in the steps direct the user to the mash calc tab to determine strike temp for this brew session and equipment profile.

+1 on this. When I create a brew session from a recipe with an associated water calc I'd like my mineral/acid additions to be part of my checklist for the brew session :-).
