Right. The thing about using kettle volume is that you have to fiddle with it and check the water calculation to hit your intended volume etc. I know how to do these things and how to get the right numbers manually, I just think that the software should present the right number if it is to...

We are not on the same page. I'm not talking about the actual brewing process. I'm only talking about how I believe, from quickly checking some numbers, the software calculates the (rough) pre-boil estimate when you target fermenter. Not about actual losses or efficiency. To expand: It looks...

It is an algorithmic thing with how I think they come up with the pre-boil gravity estimate using OG, Boil size and Batch size. It doesn't have anything to do with actual brewing steps. For the current beer I'm editing the pre-boil should be 1.070(ish), but it is estimated to 1.060 in Brewers...

Thanks!

I'm looking in the recipe, not the session.

It looks like the recipe builder is using the wrong value when calculating pre-boil gravity and consistently is lower than it should be. I believe it uses Batch Size and Boil Size without pulling in kettle loss volume from the equipment profile (kettle loss number needs to be added to the...

I really like Brewersfriend and use it as my primary recipe editor. There is an issue that is starting to annoy me quite a bit however. When adding simple sugar to a recipie Brewersfriend shows all of OG, ABV and FG going up. That is wrong, simple sugars ferment out virtually 100%, thus OG and...
