Still within the recommended range for US-05 so I'm not worried. So I've got it fermenting at 20 degrees this time, as my IPA that was fermenting at 18 degrees has dropped from 1.062 to 1.014, so I figured 20 degrees for the next week to let it finish will be good. remembered to re-hydrate the yeast! Haha

cleaned all malt pipe components during the boil, made the entire clean so much easier. Cooled quicker without the lid holding the heat in. put the chiller on a stool next to the machine. They were in a very compact pile at the bottom of the machine when I'd transferred all of the wort. feel like I might not have got the most out of the hops. Used a whirfloc this time - anyone else had that issue? I didn't whirlpool this time either Do vy vic kt hp ch bin gia khoai tây và cà chua không gây nh hng n sc khe, min chúng là cà chua chín và khoai tây không có v ngoài màu xanh. I seemed to have transferred cold break to the fermenter? Not an awful lot but there's definitely some sitting in the bottom. Beersmith Grainfathernz Beersmith Bart Bristow It would be great if Grainfather would provide an accurate equipment profile for Beersmith. Ended up with a tonne of grain matter in the boil (I was freaking out). Shaved some time off my brew day, but still took about 6 hours start to finish (including shifting my equipment around and up and down stairs). Went with 5kg MO with Chinook hops at 5g FWH, 20g 10min, 35g 5min, 40g flameout. Went for something simple just to get another brew under my belt and increase the experience. It's just a single click of one of the icons/buttons on a recipe page.ĭid my 2nd GF batch today and it went pretty well. bsmx file which was created using someone's different equipment profile. Grainfather Grain Kit recipes provided in the app Ability to import recipes from Beer Smith, BrewFather and others (Beer XML files) Set your own boil. You can do the same in BeerSmith, assuming you've set up your equipment profile and you've imported the original recipe as a BeerSmith. In answer to your question 2, in Brewer's Friend you can plug the original recipe in (remembering to include the batch size of the original recipe) and then simply hover the mouse over "Recipe Tools" at top of the page, then select "Scale" and then entering "23L" in the "New Batch Size" field. Have a play with that and you'll quickly understand how changing the amounts of grains changes your gravity. You can adjust that gravity up or down by making those grain weights bigger or smaller (while trying to keep the same 85%, 10%, 5% ratios). That will get you bang on 1.050 starting gravity. It is far from perfect, but my brew days have gotten easier and the results more consistent.Beersmith will likely have the exact malts you'll be using set out by brand, but for Brewer's Friend it's set out by country of origin:Ĥ.25kg of something like, say, "American - Pale Ale" (if you were using something like Briess Pale Ale Malt)Ġ.50kg of "United Kingdom - Crystal 60" andĠ.25kg of "American - CaraPils (Dextrine Malt)" I use the qt/(oz|lb) version for the entries rather than the L/(g|kg)Īs an aside, I do have to say I have grown rather fond of the GF.This profile is for the US/110v version.
#BEERSMITH GRAINFATHER SOFTWARE#
I have yet to find a definitive answer on an equipment profile for the Grainfather as GF doesn't really post a lot of the information necessary, similar profiles in other software are wildly off, and people have different ideas as what they should be (including me!) That said, I have attached a screenshot of my profile settings - please keep in mind that these work for me and shouldn't be misconstrued as "official" by any means. My primary goal with the profile was to get the resulting volumes to match up as close as possible with the numbers that come out of Grainfather's own online calculators - when I used their calculators, my brews came out as expected, when I didn't it was a total crap shoot. Notably, the boil-off rate is now 2qt/hr instead of 1.6, and the kettle deadspace is increased to 2.75 qt to account for what is left over in the counterflow chiller.Īfter quite a few brew sessions with my Grainfather, I feel that I have dialed in my equipment profile. The new numbers helpled my session on Saturday be spot on (though a little different than GF's online calculators). Gday, yeah Id give this one a go, the grainfather one hasnt been working for people, see how you go Youll end up with beer regardless. Update: I've tweaked my numbers after: A) performing a few more brew sessions and B) doing a boil-off and kettle + chiller deadspace test.
