Title: Beersmith mobile query
Post by: Eccipoo on September 29, 2016, 08:04:32 PM
Hiya lads, first AG coming up soon and I'm wondering if someone could clear up something for me on beersmith mobile. I've searched through a few recipes and I'm always wondering am I being massively stupid and it's staring me in the face? Or has it not stated it

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160929/f3f25149db89e9ef793da7a15720a14a.png)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160929/d945e3a1dec9a917e6c29872edd56d63.png)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160929/a2de3e052073a721465bc1c28f069dad.png)

I'm aware this is for a batch that'll end up for a keg....just below 19L.

In the photo with 'mash steps' on it it says 65 degree for 60 mins, however below in smaller writing it's states to add 15.81L of 72 degree water. Now I'm taking from that, that it's the volume and temp for adding your grain, as the tun & grain will soak up heat to make it 65 degrees. In the same photo it says that sparge temp is 75 degrees....with no volume.

If you see the third photo, for 'mash in' it says 12.78L of water for mashing in

Please could someone clear up what means what? Or what volumes to go by and possibly how to figure out how much sparge volume I'll need? I'm batch sparging

I've never used the mobile version but I've used the desktop version loads

Your mash temp is 65.0. Mash volume is 12.78L
Your sparge temp is 72.1. Sparge volume is 15.81L

What's missing is the infusion temp which is the temp you start the mash at and with grain and mash tun temperature it'll go down to the 65 degrees. I would expect that to be around 70 degrees

Knowing my system enough I'll be able to work out those extra few degrees for the heat loss with the tun and the grain. Thank you for confirming what all that was, that's made it all clearer

No worries. The Beersmith lad really needs someone who understands user experience cos that moboile UI looks shocking to me. And I'm used to the desktop experience which is hard enough as it is!

I've been using the mobile version and my understanding was that the 65c is the target temp and the smaller writing for means that I add 15.81L of water at 72.1c to my grain bed. Which brings the final temp down to 65c based on my profile and grain temp setting

Just to add a bit more confusion to this thread, if you look at the recipe on desktop it states
Mash In Add 15.81 l of water at 72.1
Sparge Fly Sparge with 22.84 l at 75.6C

2.3.8 is out now, not that 2.3.7 is old or anything!! 2.3.8 fixed the scaling issues I was having with printouts, in case anyone else was having the same issues..

This is even stranger now it's been pulled up on the desktop version. Anyone shed anymore light on this?

What has been pulled up sorry?, the temps all relate to the equipment profiles you have set up in the first place.
Like all human software interfaces BS in BS out :P
I don't even use the BS app its disjointed clunky and not interfaced well enough with the desktop version, I gather its up for an overhaul like desktop version.

I think the only time I've seen the app as useful is at club meetings when guys are discussing their recipes, and can't remember exact quantities used etc.
