TRUB CHILLER / LOSS are losses that remain in the pot when it goes into the fermenter, and then the trub and the wort which remains in an eventual cooling system type plate heat exchanger or counterflow. If we select the flag CALC BOIL VOLUME, the program will automatically calculate the PRE-BOIL VOLUME, the liters in the pot before boiling (otherwise you can deselect and enter them manually).īOIL-OFF is the amount of liters that evaporate per hour of boiling (L / Hour), depending on this value, the program calculates the previous data (if we checked CALC BOIL VOLUME ). In BATCH VOLUME TARGET you can select FERMENTER if in the box BATCH VOLUME you want to specify the volume that will end up in the fermenter or KETTLE if you want to enter the volume that will be in the pot at the end of boiling. In NAME is obviously goes the name of the equipment. We can select one of the profiles already filled, or create a new one (by clicking + ADD PROFILE ). This is the section where we will outline the characteristics of our Equipment. We find many preset profiles, including Grainfather , HopCat / BrewMonk 50L and Spiedel Braumeister. Similarly to BeerSmith, here are four subsections: Equipment , Mash , Fermentation and Water . Here’s an example of fermentation carried out using the TILT integration:

I do not know iSpindel and BrewPiLess, but I think the settings are similar. With the TILT it is also possible to load a simple program of Raspberry Pi and maintain a continuous read and upload data wirelessly. In this way, every time we will perform a TILT reading with mobile phone, automatically the data (temperature and density) will be posted to the Cloud and Brewfather will create a graph on the page BATCHES of the recipe which is associated with the device.
#BEERSMITH TUTORIAL FOR ANDROID#
it’s in fact possible, if we are holders of a compatible device, to enable the reading function of temperature and density, which will create a chart within the section BATCHES of the recipe, as we will see shortly. In this section we can enable TILT , iSpindel or BrewPiLess.įor the TILT simply paste the Clour URL into the field Enter Logging URL that we’ll find in the app for Android or iPhone and select the flag Check here to start logging data to the Cloud . The first thing to do is to go to SETTINGS , where we’ll find the main program options. What I recommend is to leave everything as it is, since the program is already set with metric measurements, the degrees Centigrade, the color in the EBC, the formula for calculating the IBU in Tinseth and everything as it should to be.Īt the section UTILITY we find something very interesting. The Premium version costs $ 1.99 per month, or $ 19.99 per year. It allows import and export of recipes (also from BeerSmith and many other programs, since it supports the BeerXML format) and allowing to an UNLIMITED number.įrom the time of registration, the first month of PREMIUM account is free , it is then possible to test the app before the buying.
#BEERSMITH TUTORIAL FREE#
The FREE version is completely free and allows you to store up to 10 recipes and 10 batches (see later what that is), but in this case it is not possible to import and export, so the recipes remains in the cloud and will not be downloaded or uploaded.

#BEERSMITH TUTORIAL PC#
As mentioned, will not need to buy separate mobile version since it runs from the cloud, then on phone and tablet you’ll have exactly what you have on a PC or Mac (not as BeerSmith, where we have many less functions on mobile version, sold separately).īrewFather can be used with two different subscription plans:

The screen is simple and intuitive and the program is very reminiscent BeerSmith , but managed to stay leaner and immediate, by integrating (as we shall see) a few options more with less “old interface”. Just go to the website brewfather.app and click GET STARTED to access the login page, from which you can sign-up or authenticate by using FACEBOOK or GOOGLE account. On mobile devices (at least on Android phone that I tested), once logged in, you’ll be asked if you want to create a shortcut to the program on the home. Once you accepted, you will have the opportunity to access the program like a real app, instead of like a website (much more easyer and faster). The program is called BrewFather and is an online app, so it’s compatible with any devices and is used directly on the cloud. Today I want to talk about a program for beer recipes that I met a few nights ago (thanks to James, editor of the Instagram page HomebrewingExperience, that I suggest you follow).
