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.

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!

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.

Kolsch
20 lbs. - Pilsner [Avangard]
1 lb. - Vienna [Briess]
2g - calc. chlor., 3g - Epsom salt, 11ml lactic acid [88%]
5.12 pH mash sample taken 20 minutes in at 77F

Cali' Common
10.5 lbs. - Pilsner [Avangard]
10.5 lbs. - Pale 2 Row [Briess]
7g - gypsum, 1g - calc. chlor., 1g - Epsom salt, 5ml lactic acid
5.17 pH mash sample taken 20 minutes in at 76F

Brown IPA
16 lbs. - Pale 2 Row [Briess]
3 lbs. - Victory Malt
2 lbs. - Brown Malt [UK]
1 lb. - Crystal 60L
1 lb. - Crystal 90L
1g - gypsum, 6g - calc. chlor., 7g - baking soda
5.80 pH mash sample taken 30 minutes in at 76F

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!

You’re welcome. My thoughts exactly. Please create a new thread for posting recipes already brewed and their actual mash pH results.

I know I have results going back some years. Over time I hope to organize all the results I’ve recorded.
 
A lot of progress continues to be made on the ezRecipe 2.01 desktop version. So much so that I will be creating a new post in this forum dedicated to its Spring release. That'll give me another 25 days to wrap up the current Beta testing cycle.
 
Here's a preview of the soon to be released ezRecipe Design v2.01. Built from the start to provide brewers with ease of use and their most talked about features. With three years in development and a year of brewday testing ezRecipe Design is now ready to be made available.

For download instructions and system requirements look in this forum for a new post sometime next week!
