Based on past experience, I've found that the BW Model does better for my usual system. (I don't have "real-world" pH to report for this thought experiment). BeerSmith calculated a mash pH of 5.73 for the MPH 3 model, but recommended 11.7 mL of 88% lactic acid to hit 5.2. For the BW Model, BeerSmith calculated a mash pH of 6.03 for the BW model and recommended 7.6 mL of 88% lactic acid to get to a pH of 5.2. ![]() crystal 120, with my (high carbonate load) tap water as the water. If you switch to "BW" (which is supposed to be based on the Bru'N Water model), you will get (in my experience) far more representative results.Īs an example, I built a grist of 10 lb. Sparge - 0.96 g - Calcium Chloride (CaCl2)ġ0 min - Boil - 0.5 tsp - Yeast NutrientsįWIW, BeerSmith's default pH model of "MPH 3" tends to be off (recommending double the optimal lactic acid additions, as noted elsewhere in this thread). Input 2 row-base malt, caramel 40L-crystal malt, chocolate- roast, black patent-roast, munich light- base, roasted barley-roast. Normally I use bru’n water for deciding how to treat my RO water but in this case I think it’s off. However bru’n water gave 4.98 pH when BrewFather and BeerSmith gave 5.44. If the results in BeerSmith are close with the BW model for enough beers, I will feel confident that I can skip the external water calculations.I created a vanilla Porter and each of the three software. I will continue to use a separate spreadsheet calculator for now. Then I put the results into BeerSmith so everything is in one place. Right now I do most of my design in BeerSmith, but I use ezBrewingWater for acid and minerals. My guess is that the 'BW model' uses the Bru’n Water algorithm from Martin Brungard and 'MPH' is Mash PH described at Does anyone have more information? There's no information about what these models are. In general the BW model results in similar pH estimates, but the acid additions are significantly lower than the MPH model. You can now choose whether to use the MPH model (recommended) or a new BW model. The release notes say: There are new mash pH models available under the mash screen. ![]() ![]() I may be ready to trust BeerSmith for acid additions with 3.1 installed. My experience was that BeerSmith overestimated the acid needed, so I ran through some of my recipes to see how it changed. I installed 3.1 on top of my 3.0 installs and did some tests for acid additions.
