7/30/2023 0 Comments Beersmith grainfather mash profile![]() ![]() GF recommend a 2.7L per kg mash water ratio and unless someone has a good reason I intend to stick to this. The GF has 3.5L dead space below the pipe (measured and confirmed) which is why 3.5L is added to mash water. Loss to trub and chiller: 2L, Batch volume: 23L, Fermenter loss 1.5L ![]() Top up water:0, Boil time: 60mins, Boil off: 2L per hour, Cooling Shrinkage 4% Mash Tun Vol: 30L, Mash Tun Weight: 4kg, Specific heat: 0.12, Lauter Tun deadspace: 0 Calculated as – 23L in fermenter, 2L lost to boil, 1L Cooling & Shrinkage, 2L lost to trub & dead space in GF below pump inlet.īrewhouse Efficiency: 75%, Hop Utilization: 100% Pre boil qty for 60 min boil is 28L at 100C to result in 23L at 20C temp in the fermenter. This profile is based on the following assumptions from the details in the GF manual. It supports BIAB methods but these don’t use fly sparging or rims recirculation. ![]() Thought I would explain as well as state.Ī problem with BeerSmith is it doesn’t seem to handle single vessel brewing very well. This is a work in progress and I am pretty green when it comes to brewing so would appreciate anyone else’s comments and modifications.Īpologies for the long post. Looked at BeerSmith’s logic and tested it against the values I used and measured on 2 GF brews at the weekend - managed to come up with a profile and method that fits close enough for the moment. GrainFather BeerSmith profile and approach I prefer hands on.Jeg kom over en kommentar på profil oppsettet til Grainfather i Beersmith2, er det noen som har erfaring til å si noe om grainfather profilen(add on) mot de endringene som blir foreslått her? As for the inability to wifi control the thing, that was not even a consideration. So I give this a big as long as you can deal with the control location and are willing to add a sight glass. I like camlock fittings and the fact I didn't have to convert this like I did the GF. And the GF is very easy to tilt and see since it has no bottom plate. I'm used to a 70 qt cooler at an angle for the outlet with a bazooka tube and I have no loss with that method. The deadspace volume under the plate is a little more than I guessed (another equipment profile mistake) but not bad. It takes a couple minutes to get the whirlpool going well but it moves along. I bought the whirlpool attachment and like it. Pump is strong.I pump ice water thru the Therminator but still had to throttle back the Zilla pump to get my target temp after a 15 minute whirlpool. Very quick to heat and really gets a good boil going on 12 gallons. Oh, and it is fell and I was freaking out but no damage. I wish there was a good way to temporarily store the lid.I like hanging mine on the GF lid clamps. I will definitely be putting a sight glass on it at the drain outlet. I don't like immersion chillers but that wasn't a factor since I use a Blichmann Therminator anyway. It works nice for rolling over to the sink and dumping the trub that won't pump out.another minor thing I don't like and wish it had a bottom drain like the GF70 but for the price, forget it. I can't read the control without laying on the floor so I had to build a stand to elevate it about 14 inches. I brew in a small area of the garage and have to move things around so my GF and this Zilla are sitting on plant dollys. Not much.biggest complaint is the control is too low. Interesting that I could set target temp higher than 212F. I did not verify any volume markings or temp readings, though I suspect my temp readings are slightly off and will calibrate. my boil off was much higher.this thing will flat boil!!! It does much better than my Grainfather. I attempted to update the existing one for the V3 but. I use Beersmith and had to create my own equipment profile, which wasn't too accurate. Did my first brew (10 gallon IPA) on Sunday on the new zilla. ![]()
