    Which Software to pay for?

    I think I have realised how it works and it's the best I have seen :)

    Which Software to pay for?

    Brewfather is looking good but even through I have enabled CRS in inventory its choosing lactic or phosphoric every time. How do I get it to use CRS?

    Which Software to pay for?

    Evening All. I have notebooks recording my brews scattered about the house and as you can imagine I usually can't find the one I want. The two best options seem to be BeerSmith and Brewersfriend. Of them BrewersFriend seems better to me as I like the Water Calculator and usualy use CRS/AMS...

    Alkalinity/pH and salts again!

    I usualy just use Brewersfriend advanced water calculator. But if enough noise about RA comes along it gets confusing.

    Alkalinity/pH and salts again!

    That is exactly what I thought and what I aim to do. Every so often Alkalinity especialy RA gets thrown about and sadly confuses me. Thanks.

    Alkalinity/pH and salts again!

    This is doing my head in! Please check my water adjustment procedure with respect to Alkalinity/Residual Alkalinity. 1. Get a profile for my water, it's usualy about 110 ppm as CaCo3 Alkalinity, also listed are Ca, Mg, CL, So4, Na and others. 2. Decide on the water profile I want to use eg...

    Its the hops!

    I'm interested in building an automated system that will give me 12-15 litres into the FV. My bigest issue is the addition of hops, if I have to do it manually then there isn't enough reason to automate beyond a base level of PID temperature control. I have thought up a number of ways to add...

    Lutra, Lager and Finings

    Well it's still young and it's similar to lager but it's obviously not what I would consider a normal lager. It's drinkable but unless it improves markedly I won't use Lutra for lager again. Atb.

    Lutra, Lager and Finings

    Before anybody get pedantic it's faux Lager a pale ale. Having got that out of the way, I want a clear beer and its at this point things get a bit more difficult. I will not be going into a keg :- 1, my keg freezer has broken 2, my cornies hate me, long story. So I'm going to bottle...

    The Efficiency Question in a GF.

    I would struggle to get a decent Quad or big Sason out of that. I have tried reiterating mashing twice on both occasions the efficiency wax very poor . With one batch I even adjusted the pH before the second mash, the specter of DME is looming large err maybe mmmm I believe I have forgotten...

    The Efficiency Question in a GF.

    I have an early Manual GF and I'm considering using it for some small higher gravity batches, small enough that I could brew full volume/no sparge. The GF's efficiency is low with that sort of batch simply because there isn't enough sparge water to effectively flush the grain. The plan would...
