Really appreciate this walkthrough, I'm kicking myself for not starting to use Brewfather, or software in general earlier as a beginner. It's very useful to see how everything affects into the final result.
Dude!! Confirmed 90% of what I have been doing!!! This along with David heaths video are a must. Great video on yours and David heaths, between the two I am on it!!! Thanks- great vid. Matt Saconlights
Great video Brian! I've had Brewfather on my phone for months, but I've struggled to figure it out. You break it down and make it super simple to follow along. Cheers!
Good video, I watched till the end. Every time I make a new recipe I figure out more about Brewfather. This video gives me more info to use on my next batch coming soon.
Nice work Brian! I moved to Brewfather this past year and I love having the web access on any device. I build by recipes on my laptop when I have time and then I typically just use my iPad to run Brewfather and play music on brew days. Very thorough explanation of all the features.
Thanks! That's one of the things I love about the software is that you can move from device to device. Don't know if you've tried it or not but you can start your Brew Day on your laptop and then move to your phone and all the timers are in sync!! I really like that part! 👍🍻
That video couldn't be more on the spot! I'm planning to brew a Belgian Dubbel this weekend, so I entered everything in the Brewfather app, but I realized while watching this video that I didn't enter everything correctly (brew volume: kettle vs fermenter). Hope that I'll be right on spot when it comes to my numbers this Saturday!
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers in the end, the brew day went super smoothly, even if I didn't get my numbers quite right: my mashing efficiency was better than I anticipated (85% Vs 75%), which got my preboil gravity way higher than I was expecting. During the boil, the evaporation rate was a bit lower than I thought (2l/hour Vs 3l/hour), so it compensated a bit. In the end, I have a bit more than 20/21l of wort with an OG of 1.075, while I was expecting to get 20l with an OG of 1,070
Nicely done braj. I'd be interested in a follow up video to explain how to dial in your expected mash efficiency etc on new recipes based on results of a few brews.
Great video and very informative! Would be super helpful if you could do a part 2 of the video, going over the water calculations section at the bottom and provide recommendations on how to select and adjust each of the different kind of salts.
Great video. I been brewing 20 years now. But amazingly, I have never used any software. Just always did manual way. But am considering options to electronic way
Great video Brian! When you added the hop stand hops I think you forgot to change the time on those. The default is 60 minutes, I believe the recipe called for 10-15 minutes. So your IBU’s are probably a little higher than intended haha!
Thank you Brian for the video very good. Yes I use a lot of kits and I feel a lot of times if I’m off, I just didn’t put the correct volume of batch size in brew father. It would be great if brew father had a feature to Pull the kits down into the app. Are usually just play with the Apple little bit to get the data that I want. Unfortunately you have to put those in yourself. Thanks again for the videos enjoy your content
Thanks Brian, wanting to switch to all grain and you made seem less intimidating. I have a better understanding how the ingredients change the final product
Really good video Brian. I have heard that when you brew a batch with Brewfather and enter your "achieved" numbers (e.g. losses etc) there is a way you can save the resulting efficiencies back to your requirement profile, thus dialing in your kit with each brew. Do you know any more about this and how it can be done? Love your channel. Thanks.
Thanks . this is really very useful. I decided to try a Xmas Ale kit from northern Brewer and I was wondering exactly how to bring that to brewfather, Your detailed explanation helped a lot. Kit recipe really lack information ... For instance what water profile should I use , since the kit for the Festivus Miracle all grain does not say the "style". I am going to guess a Belgian strong ale ... Thanks again !
Brian, Appreciate the video as I’ve struggled with Brewfather for sure. I’m still a bit confused as I believe NB meant 6 gallons in the fermentor accounting for trub loss. If you’re at 100% power at 240v using your extension/surge protector cord of course 😀 your burning 1 gallon per 60 min, you’re still going to be way off using your 6 gallons to start off with. If I following the anvil guide in the destructions 8.2 gallons/16 lbs recommended for no sparge. Would you agree? Wish I could figure out water amount calculations in brewfather for theAnvil, just not very intuitive for us rookies.
Hi have got a video on how to use the yeast calc section of brew father. Trying to figure out if a starter is a better option than buying numerous yeast packets. Thanks
Regarding yeast starters - I’m still perplexed on how to measure how much yeast I’m actually pitching given that I can’t decant all the liquid, or that I may lose some yeast while trying to decant. If you haven’t already, could you do a video that focuses on that topic? Many thanks for all the current content!
I appreciate your help to us inexperienced brewers
Excellent video... and 25 minutes is not too long! I regularly watch much longer tutorials...
Very nicely done Brian, content with value. I am confident that this will help out those new to Brewfather and/or those new to brewing software too.
Thanks David!! 👍🍻

Super helpful video. Between you and David Heath, great explanations of how to use this software.
Great video Brian, Done done an all grain porter kit and used brewfather to get it bang on the money with my kit. Great how to. Cheers
Thanks!! 👍🍻
Watched it. My mind is now active and I have learned SO Much. Thank You. Way better than any training instructors at work.
Haha thanks! It does help that you were interested in the topic being taught.. 😁👍🍻

Awesome to hear! Yes @david heath had some great videos on it too! 👍🍻
Great stuff. Been using grainfather for a couple years now. So nice to use and keep track everything. Really has helped me improve my brews.
Yes! I do like it myself! 👍🍻
This was a great walkthrough and you explained things very well, even a beer smith guy like me can understand
Haha beersmith?? Thanks Trent! 👍🍻
Thanks Brian. That was really helpful. I just started looking at Grainfather still doing extract but moving to all grain, and have not used it yet
It's r really great software! 👍🍻
Definitely gonna watch the the whole video when I get off work and get home. I need practice with Brewfather.
👍🍻

Good stuff. I wish I could have watched a video like this when I first signed up with Brewfather.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks!! Sorry it took so long to get it out there! 👍🍻
this is a lot easier than trying to muddle through alone.
That's exactly why I made the video. Thanks for the comments! 👍🍻

What value do you have entered for grain absorption for the Anvil? I ask because this determines how much strike water to add to the mash...
I leave the standard brew father setting..but take notes and adjust as needed. 👍🍻
