pH: _/_F (5.2 is typical).Īerate well (60 seconds with Fizz-X). Start chilling immediately.Įnd volume: _ gallons at 212F ( _ gallons at 68F).

Lid on at flameout when 0 minute hops are added (if applicable). Gravity units (GU) = Target OG X Target vol = 65 x 12= 780. Mash out to 168F.Īcidify sparge water to under ~6 pH with _ ml Lactic acid in _ gallons. Sparge water = initial kettle + grain loss - strike = 14.1 + 2.94 - 8.38 = 8.66 gal.įilled HLT to ~20 gallon mark. Loss to grain absorption = 24.5 x 0.12 = 2.94 gal. I then fill in the spots with the underline with pen during the brew day.Ģ4.5 lbs of grain.

I pre-fill in certain things that I know beforehand like strike/sparge water, grain amount, etc. Everything else comes out of those.įor example here's the template I use for every brew that has the math I need in it. I calculate the amount of strike water needed, sparge water needed, and then know my boil off rate for my kettles in my environment for my amount of power used - it's 1.9 gallons/hr, and I know how much to add to the mash water due to deadspace/hoses/HERMS - it's 0.72 gal.

That's a factor of kettle geometry (which you can enter in software - Beer tools has this), the amount of wattage/power in the kettle (never seen any software have this), and ambient temperature/humidity levels (never seen any software have this), and even factors like wind, etc (never seen any software have this), and the amount you're boiling.įWIW I think it's all extra work for nothing.

It calculates boil-off rate? I don't see how that's possible. It is pretty easy to come up with on your own, but comparing notes with someone else could save a little work.ĭrinking: Pub Ale, Electric Creamsicle, Mild, Pliny the Younger, Belgian Dark Strong, Weizen, Russian Imperial Stout, Black Butte Porterįor volumes for loss it actually lets you put in hose amounts too? Or just dead space in kettles? Pretty new with it myself, but if you set it all up right it will make a custom 'brew-day' like document for each recipe. Basically it will adjust your timings and volumes adjust for loss and boil off rate and what not.
