I'm always willing to test out and help in any way I can and look forward to your next version!
Here is a 10-gallon recipe where ezRecipe did an excellent job of predicting the actual wort volume, color, mash pH and original gravity. I'd add IBUs to the list if I had a way of measuring bitterness. As shown below 13.5 gallons was my pre-boil wort volume and 11.75 gallons my post boil wort volume. 12 gallons of strike water was treated with minerals and lactic acid to target a 5.21 mash pH measured at 30 minutes into the mash. This is the second time brewing this recipe where the predicted and actual values were very very close.

Hi Mark, yes I have a few I can post for you now. I use 12 gallons of treated RO strike water for each recipe as they're all 10-gallon batches.Vince,
I see that you have posted experimental and predicted mash pH comparisons for two beers (and amber ale and a stout). Do you have any other experimental data that can be compared with predictions? Cheers!

You’re welcome. My thoughts exactly. Please create a new thread for posting recipes already brewed and their actual mash pH results.Most excellent! Thanks!
I'm trying to collect as much data like this in hopes of updating MpH. If anyone else out there has such data, I'd most appreciate it being posted. Perhaps a new thread for such measurements should be started?
I do have a bit of data from some other sources, but I am coming to the conclusion, that I may need to do a few more experiments before I can really nail things down to my satisfaction.
Cheers!
