BrewCipher 7 spreadsheet, Late Valentine Edition, is now up for download. New/Changed in Version 7: - Styles Updated to BJCP 2021 Guidelines - Added More Style Specific Suggested Water Profiles - fixed a display issue for LODO additions on menu tab - Tweaked/Added some Ingredients Feature Recap... - Predicts attenuation based not only on yeast strain, but also on mash conditions and grain bill composition - Understands that simple sugars are 100% fermentable, and that they are not subject to mash efficiency or yeast strain factors - Understands that some gravity contributors are not fermentable at all - Accounts explicitly for wort and water losses, and adjusts total water (and related calculations) accordingly - Uses a correct Tinseth formula with Avg Boil Gravity in the 'bigness' factor rather than the pre-boil OG (which is both popular and wrong) - Incorporates optional Modified Tinseth and Rager Formulas… ------ Limits IBUs to 110 (solubility limit) ------ Splices new utilization curve to Tinseth and Rager curves above 65 IBUs, to more closely agree with actual vs theoretical IBUs measured ------ Adds bitterness contributions for post boil hop additions, modeled and extrapolated from the work of Mark G. Malowicki - Hop Utilization Multiplier parameter to fine tune hop utilization to your system - First Wort Hopping - User adjustable Pellet/Leaf/Cryo/CO2 Extract Hop Bonuses/Penalties - Single infusion batches with single batch sparge, or mashout and lauter, or Brew-In-A-Bag - Wort Oxygenation Recommendations - Lagering Days Recommendations - Highlights any Gravities, ABVs, IBUs, and SRMs that are not within BJCP style guidelines - Computes Diastatic Power for the Mash, and warns when grist's DP is marginal or poor - Scales Grain Bill to any desired Original Gravity - Scales Hop Bills to any desired IBUs - Calculates Residual Alkalinity and Mash pH and results of acid and Brewing Salt Additions, including Sparge Water acidification - Recommends Water Profiles by Style and accepts User Water Profiles - Predicts Mash Efficiency based on known Efficiency and change in grain weight and/or sparge to no-sparge or vice versa - Displays Implied Brewhouse Efficiency - Automatically computes Yeast Starter Volumes, including stepped starters. Supports harvested yeast slurries. - Includes an optional, alternate ABV calculation - Inputs for Post Boil/Post Fermentation gravity and volume data, to compute actual mash efficiency, attenuation, and ABV - Converts Refractometer readings Specific Gravity Values - Choice of U.S. standard measurements or Metric - Choice of Plato or SG gravity measurements - SG/Plato Conversion Calculator - Carbonation Calculations - Hydrometer Specify Gravity Temperature Correction - Mash Tun Overload and Required Temperature Exceeding Boiling Warnings - Kegging Beer Line Length calculations - CO2 Hop Extract and Cryo Hop Support - pH Target Picker Tool - Fruit Additions - LODO Metabisulfate Additions - More user selectable Brewhouse Parameters than you can shake a stick at (but the defaults will work pretty well for most people too) BrewCipher runs in Excel, Apache Open Office, Google Sheets App, and the iOS Excel App. Download it from -> Google Drive <- or -> DropBox <-. Pitter patter, let's get at 'er.
Thanks @VikeMan ! The SMB addition box is helpful in the water tab. Not to be nitpicky, but you're still missing a quite a few hops and yeast in the pull down menus on the recipe tab. Not a big deal though, they are easily added. Thanks again.
It's impossible to include everything, but I'm happy to add any ingredients requested to the next release, if you or anyone wants to PM me a list.
Can you add all of the experimental hops by coded name with the official name they plan to give said hop when it is no longer experimental next year?
I've been using since v4.2. I can't tell you how much BC has helped me and how appreciative I am. Thanks VikeMan!!!
I might have missed it, but is there somewhere in BC that provides for user input of FWH, or is FWH treated as if the hops are added at the beginning of the boil?
From the mouseover help for the Minutes column: "You can also enter "FW" for First Wort…in which case the basic boil time for the addition will be equal to the full Recipe boil time.The Standard Tinseth formula (and the Rager formula) will calculate bitterness without any bonus for First Wort Hopping. The Modified Tinseth formula will add a bitterness bonus for the addition equal to 10% of a 60 minute boil." The above bonus was based on some data back in the day, though I'm not at all certain I could find it now. But if your question is "Is there a way to make First Wort Hopping equal to a 20 minute boil?," then no.
BrewCipher 7.1 spreadsheet, the WTF Took So Long Edition, is now up for download. If you use a refractometer or have been scratching your head over acheived SRM (beer color) vs. predicetd SRM, it may be worth the update. New/Changed in Version 7.1: - Added Novotny Refractometer Model option (in addition to Terrill Model) - Added experimental Efficiency Sensitive SRM Model - Cleaned up some Brewday Print Me sheet formatting - Tweaked/Added some Ingredients BrewCipher runs in Excel, Apache Open Office, Google Sheets App, and the iOS Excel App. Download it from -> Google Drive <- or -> DropBox <-. Enjoy.
