Moreover they all need to rely on certain generic assumptions that simply don't apply universally in the real world though derived from empirical data they are still generalizations (hence the disclaimer about just getting you in the ballpark.) The software can be very useful for getting an idea of how a completely new grist might need to be approached. Brewers Friend gave acid recommendations that were absurd in some cases and I just don't trust it. All of these programs are explicitly intended only to get you in the ballpark BW says you ought to be within 0.2 pH units, and indeed my actual measured pH is generally approaching 0.2 lower than the prediction (and very occasionally further off) even though I do not rely on generic city water reports but actually test regularly. My advice would be to do like KellerBrauer says and trust but verify. I don't use BeerSmith but I do use Bru'n Water and have tried the Brewers Friend software. The brewer formerly known as alestateyall. You need both tools to assume the same type CaCl to get the same Ca and CL values. Both tools are made by smart people.Įdit: fixed how to note sparge additions and added bit about dihydrate CaCl. Regarding pH prediction, I think BeerSmith uses a different pH model (it’s based off different data.) For my brews, BS3 (and BS2) estimates significantly larger Lactic acid amounts than Bru’n Water. You need both softwares to use dihydrate CaCl if you want both to report the same Ca and Cl values. You need to list the sparge water salts as going into the sparge.Īlso, Bru’n Water has a setting for type of Calcium Chloride. When I imported an old recipe it assumed all my salts were added to the mash (not split between the mash and sparge or mash and boil.) Because of this, the reported water chemistry looked much higher than Bru’n Water reports. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter or my podcast (also on itunes…and youtube…and streaming radio station) for more great tips on homebrewing.In BS3, the water tab reports the mash water chemistry. I hope you enjoy using the many new features in BeerSmith 3! Thanks for joining me on the BeerSmith Home Brewing Blog. The desktop version for Linux is available as a free 21 day trial which you can download below. You can see a complete list of package dependencies by running “dpkg -I BeerSmith*.deb” against the downloaded debian package. BeerSmith 3 may also work on some other Linux platforms though it may require additional dependencies to be downloaded first. BeerSmith 3 for Linux is the full desktop package with all of its features on the Ubuntu Linux platform. This week I also released BeerSmith 3 builds for Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04 in a Debian package. If you don’t have BeerSmith 3 mobile you can purchase it from either the iTunes or Google Play store. An improved interface with pop up menu for recipe editing.Temperature adjustments on a “per hop” basis for whirlpool hop additions.Boil adjustments for high altitude brewers.New juice, fruit and honey ingredient types to support the use of these ingredients in beer as well as cider, mead and wine.The addition of both local folders and also folder in the BeerSmith cloud.Mash pH estimation and adjustment that is integrated with the recipe builder and water profile used.Addition of a new water profile tool (from the edit recipe page) for adjusting water profiles.Support for mead, wine and cider recipe types and many new ingredients and styles to support them.The changes to BeerSmith Mobile version 3 match many of the new features available in BeerSmith 3 desktop. BeerSmith mobile is a separate purchase from the desktop version of BeerSmith as you must buy it through one of the mobile app stores. The iTunes/iPhone/iPad version has also been released but is being staged over the next few days so it may be a day or two before your device updates. The Android and Amazon app store releases are done and available now for purchase from the Google Play or Amazon app stores. As I mentioned in a previous message I am planning to discontinue the “lite” version of BeerSmith mobile in the future so it will not be updated. The update is free for existing BeerSmith Mobile version 2 users who previously purchased the full version. BeerSmith Mobile Version 3īeerSmith Mobile version 3 adds mead, wine and cider support to the mobile platform as well as a number of enhanced beer features. In addition the Ubuntu Linux versions of BeerSmith 3 are also now available. Follow week I published the BeerSmith 3.0 update for BeerSmith Mobile on Google Play, iTunes and also the Amazon app store.
