Afternoon Chaps
Does anyone with a BM or GF use brewersfriend?
i do and i am not sure how to set it up because it quite often gets PH wrong. So much so, with the last brew i ended making quite a few adjustments to hit 5.3 on brewers friend, but ended up with an actual mash ph of 4.9. Should have left well alone!
any tips welcome!

Re: Brewer's friend software for BM/GF
Take no notice of pH values that have been calculated by software. If the alkalinity of your water is in the right range and you have a healthy dose of calcium in the Mash, the pH will (almost) certainly be in the correct range. I brew with a GF but don't use Brewers Friend. My Mash pH is sometimes on the high side but not out of range.Onthebrew wrote:Afternoon Chaps

your probably right Dave, may give up on the software and just go with experience and notes and just tweak brew by brew. i reckon if i hadnt had followed the software in would have been bang on last time.
