![]() ![]() ![]() In reality, I think that what I was trying to do was force BS2 to fit the standard GF calculations, rather than tailoring it to my machine. Oginme and Brewfun have had to deal with a heap of my questions. I do own a grainfather, and I think Oginme's response is perfect. Personally, I would not try to make the profile match the Grainfather calculator, but using the information from the calculator make a recipe and then use the actual information to adjust the BeerSmith profile to match my results. #Grainfather mash profile beersmith full#Others may transfer the full amount of 11 liters (leading to the same water usage) or may make and transfer only 10 liters (leading to a different water demand, extraction efficiency, etc.) For example, I plan on 11 liter batches and transfer 10 liters to my carboy. No simple calculator can account for these changes and, therefore, some personalization of profiles needs to be done in most cases to make the profile match your particular brewing method and materials.Īdd to that, some people may leave behind more wort than others when they fill their fermentor. These things have an impact on the amount of water which is retained in the spent grains and the effectiveness of removing the starches which are then converted to sugars. The grain you use, the crush of it, the care of mashing in, grain removal and wort drainage are all variables to the machine. Water should be pretty straight forward, but when it comes to the grain things become non-standard. While the equipment may be standardized, the other process inputs (grain, water) are not. Grandfather website says 5.7gallons of mash and 3.1gallons of sparge.Disclaimer: I do not own a grainfather, but think my response may help. However, when I go to calculate a recipe and compare it to the grandfather website, my water volumes are way off, Beer smith says 6.79gallons of mash, 2.34gallons of spare. I think I have listed all the possible changes, but I have bee tinkering with this for a while, and I didn't always remember what the starting values might have been. Let me know if you don't get absolutely the same values from BeerSmith as the calculators produce. Go to profiles -> and choose one of the Temperature Mash profiles and make the following change (or click on Add Mash and create a new one based the temperature profile of your chosing): Double click on the Temperature Mash profile you prefer and then double click on the line that reads "Add _ qt of water at _ F." and change the value of "Water/Grain Ratio" from 1.250 to 1.360 qt/lb (for metric, multiply the original by 1.088). 2.01īottling Volume (w/o starter): automatically calculated ![]() 3.41 l.īoil Time: 60 minutes (you can change this as you like)Īutomatically calculated (should be 7.2 %/hour) Go to Profiles& amp gt Equipment and click on "Add Equip" and enter the following information Go to Options& amp gt Advanced and change the Grain absorption from 0.96 to 0.8. Hey all, I updated my Grainfather profiles in Beer Smith using the following details I found on the Beer Smith forums:Ĭhanges need to be made in three different areas of BeerSmith: ![]()
