To my understanding the pre boil reading does not include the sugar addition so the expected preboil gravity was ment to be 1.061 and I got 1.062 but that had the sugar in it, if you remove that sugar using a calculator it means I got a pre boil of 1.052ish which makes sense to me

Your right this is the answer, I just checked and the recipe doesn't state when the sugar will be added hence I just assumed it was part of all the fermentables at every measurement. Looking at the actual brew schedule it is to be added in the boil hence it wouldn't be part of the pre-boil...

I added the sugar to the mash as to get an accurate pre boil read, has got me stumped

When you put into the calculator a 16.9l pre boil with a gravity of 1.062 and a boil off of 4.4l and a target gravity of 1.083 it says that it would be a 58 minute boil off which is pretty much what I got so why does my recipe think that it would get to 1.097?

I just did the maths and that is correct, so why does brewfather predict a final gravity of 1.097, seems like somthing in the software is wrong

1.083 and 12.2l

Stired really well and i was recirculating the whole 90 min Mash. Took 2x refac readings and a hydrometer reading that all showed the same

I cant figure out why my gravity was so low with my pre boil being about right and my volume being pretty close. I use a refac and hydrometer for all readings and even took multiple samples of both to double check. All was mixed very well. My only thought is it must be that my boil off is less...

New version Added sugar and bumped the volume by 1 litre as I realised that I wouldn't have enough liquid in the mash, this will give me a mash thickness of 2.8 with no sparge. Also will have to boil off a good 4.5l to achieve the mash level. Will add cocoa powder at mash because I want to get...

Sounds good, I will add more gypsom, can't believe I even got close lol.

Fair point, im using a g40 so the boil off is pretty high but I can and will reduce the power level👍

Wanted to brew an imperial chocholate stout and have thrown this together in brewfather with no real idea, looking to brew this weekend and have these ingredients on hand. Will this work? Will 1 pack of yeast get me there on a small batch? Should I tweek the percentages or remove ingredients...

Always handy

34/70 2xpacks 1.054og 12c Did another batch on the whole yeast cake that is the same.

Gets sweeter every day, the only style I don't notice it in is hazy ipa but the hops take over everything else, last few hazy beers have lasted 2 months no problems so my oxygen mitigation methods are working. My larger is now a month old and very sweet malty instead of the nice dry and bitter...

Still fighting this sweet thing😪. Tried everything and more. It could be my grains so will try another supplier and see how that goes. Did my first true lager was really good but now a month on I'm getting the sweet thing also. Base malts are Joe white pils and ale.

Did you ever figure it out?

Was looking for gamma seal lids and 5 gallon buckets and came across this site, $4.99 for bucket and lid but this caught my eye https://www.pccedue.com/kegco-mdk309ss01-keg-dispenser-p-716379.htm What's the deal with this site? I can't find much on google. Obviously you don't get a kegarator...

I was thinking it was recipe based and have been dropping the crystal additions. But because I made extra and was drinking from the fermenter and it tasted great I now know it's keg side. Infection or oxygen. Im going to go on the theory that using the co2 from fermentation to purge the keg of...
