Brad did a great job and this is a brand new app. The perfect, mobile add on to a great desktop app. If you're already a BeerSmith user, this is so worth $4. This isn't a great stand-alone app, you really need to already be using BeerSmith.

I love that I can tweak the heck out of my recipes at my computer, then download it to my phone for reference at my homebrew store or when I'm brewing.

No manual timer settings needed if your recipe is set. You'll get notifications at every step you set. Set your times in your recipe in the cloud and download it to your phone. Someone said the timer would be better if it told you when to add hops. BeerSmith Equipment Profile: Brewhouse Efficiency: 83 (based on my experience, yours may vary) Mash Tun Volume: 8 gallons Mash Tun Weight: 8.82 pounds Mash Tun Specific Heat: 0.12 Cal/gram-deg C Mash Tun Addition: 0 gallons Lauter Tun Losses: 0 gallons Top Up Water for Kettle: 0 gallons Boil Volume: 6. I don't want my laptop out when I'm brewing, the phone app is all I need.

Mash Tun Specific Heat: 0.12 Cal/gram-deg C. I've brewed with it 3 times and it's exactly what I needed. BeerSmith Equipment Profile: Brewhouse Efficiency: 83 (based on my experience, yours may vary) Mash Tun Volume: 8 gallons. I've been using it for about a month, was lucky to be a beta tester. Let it keep going after flame out, and it'll start counting how long it takes to chill your wort. An additional benefit is the count-up after the boil timer. The hop amounts, varieties and such are right there.

The boil timer calculates your hop addition times, and notifies you when it's time. How many of them sync with the beer cloud to pull your actual recipe and automatically set the times based on your mash profile, hop additions, etc? I did a mash-out this weekend for the first time, and this recipe timer knew exactly what I needed to do and when without me having to figure it out.

Yes, there are free brew day timers out there. The brew day timer is one of the most convenient features.

What it is: A shopping and brew-day extension to your beersmith software which allows you to see, buy the ingredients for, and brew your creations without requiring that you have a laptop near large volumes of hot liquid. Join the Grainfather forum and discuss brewing topics and exchange recipes. So don't knock it for what it's not even trying to be.

That's not what he designed it for, and to be honest, was quite up-front about from the day he announced it. Some reviews I have seen are knocking Brad for not allowing recipe development on the app.

Otherwise, learn how to copy and move files from the PC or Dropbox to the Beersmith recipes folder and save some money. The cloud may be easier to use, however, to keep any changes synchronized and in the same place. As I mentioned, there is both an option for local storage as well as cloud storage. Contrary to what some reviewers have claimed, this is NOT a scam to get you to pay for the Beersmith cloud storage service. You will have to copy your recipe file from Dropbox to where the Beersmith lite app stores he local files. I would recommend saving the annual subscription cost for cloud storage and use local storage, or maybe Dropbox if you want free cloud storage. My option is that the cloud storage isn't worth it, but your needs may be quite different from mine. It will allow you to store recipes locally, and if you really feel the need for cloud storage and access, you can use the subscription cloud service offered by Beersmith, but it's free for up to 10 recipes. It has all of the tools you would expect to be used on brew day away from your desktop PC, and it fits the needs of both beginners and all-grain users. Only problem is small grain bills without the micro pipework where you still need to topup the mash from your sparge water.This is a great subset of the Beersmith 2.0 PC version. * No need to have seperate profiles for different brewtimes - you can adjust it on the recipe page * The first mash step should specify a Water/Grain ration of 2.7L/kg and subsequent should be 0 water to add * Your Mash step should all be 'Temperature' steps * Cooling Shrinkage = 0% as you are initially measuring the water cold, it expands and contracts again * Top Kettle = 0, as mash tun addition is auto-added to boil volume This will then get BS to add the 3.41L to your initial mash step/strike water * Mash Tun Addition, not Lauter Tun Losses and tick 'adjust mash vol for losses'. One extra setting: Under Advanced Options, Grain Absorption of 0.77 fl oz/oz (This is the same as 0.8 l/kg in the grainfather calcs) I highlighted the key settings in the attached image I get basically identical volumes to the GF site and pretty consistent brews.Īlso wanted to add my rationale for settings. I know there are several other threads, but thought I'd share my BS setup for my Grainfather.
