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...

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...

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...

I've created my first recipe in brewersfriend and have a water calc associated to the recipe with mineral/acid additions for my target water profile. When I create a brew session for the recipe I see the target water profile is captured but when I click the embedded link to go to the advanced...
