The recirculation gets the temperature back up to where it needs to be fast. No more worries about getting your strike water right. I usually hit my mash temperature with my traditional setup, but not always, and this takes that concern away.
#GRAINFATHER MASH PROFILE BEERSMITH HOW TO#
I'm still working on how to design recipes for this.

For my traditional setup, I used BeerSmith to design my recipes. BeerSmith comes with an equipment add-on for the Grainfather (supplied by the Grainfather folks themselves), but discussions on HomeBrewTalk and Reddit indicated that the equipment profile wasn't really correct. The inner bucket that holds the grain doesn't go all the way down to the bottom of the Grainfather, so you have some extra volume of liquid that's sitting under the grain. I downloaded an adjusted BeerSmith Grainfather profile from Reddit, but I didn't really use it. On the Grainfather website, there is a calculator which will tell you how much water to add for your mash, and how much water to sparge with.

If you want to use the Bluetooth enabled Grainfather Connect feature, you need to put your mash and boil schedule in their website, and then, using an app on your phone, you send the mash and boil schedule to the Grainfather. Supposedly there is a way to import BeerSmith recipes to it via XML files, but I haven't tried it yet. I just stuck to the Grainfather website for this first batch. I brewed a hefeweizen with 3 mash steps: a ferulic rest at 110 for 10 minutes, regular mash at 151 for 60 minutes, mash out at 167 for 10 minutes. I never had the capability to step mash before so this was great. Once you add the grain, the Grainfather does all the work with the step mashing. Grandfather website says 5.7gallons of mash and 3.1gallons of sparge.You can walk away and do whatever else you want to do. However, when I go to calculate a recipe and compare it to the grandfather website, my water volumes are way off, Beer smith says 6.79gallons of mash, 2.34gallons of spare.

I think I have listed all the possible changes, but I have bee tinkering with this for a while, and I didn't always remember what the starting values might have been. Let me know if you don't get absolutely the same values from BeerSmith as the calculators produce. Go to profiles -> and choose one of the Temperature Mash profiles and make the following change (or click on Add Mash and create a new one based the temperature profile of your chosing): Double click on the Temperature Mash profile you prefer and then double click on the line that reads "Add _ qt of water at _ F." and change the value of "Water/Grain Ratio" from 1.250 to 1.360 qt/lb (for metric, multiply the original by 1.088). 2.01īottling Volume (w/o starter): automatically calculated 3.41 l.īoil Time: 60 minutes (you can change this as you like)Īutomatically calculated (should be 7.2 %/hour) Go to Profiles& amp gt Equipment and click on "Add Equip" and enter the following information Go to Options& amp gt Advanced and change the Grain absorption from 0.96 to 0.8. Hey all, I updated my Grainfather profiles in Beer Smith using the following details I found on the Beer Smith forums:Ĭhanges need to be made in three different areas of BeerSmith:
