Adding "No-Chill" Option

BUMP?

Still no idea how to use this with v2.2 ??

Current hop utilization under equipment is set at 100% ... what should this be set at to compensate for "no-chill" .. I can't seem to find info for this setting?

EDIT: The software called "BrewMate" have a no-chill option ... i wonder how their is setup ?

In BeerSmith 2.3 (just released) go into the equipment profile for your equipment and look for the whirlpool/steeped hop utilization section (middle right).  Check the box to estimate boil hop utilization in the whirlpool and then enter the time that your cube spends at above 85 C into the whirlpool time box.

If you do this, BeerSmith will calculate the IBUs from hop alpha acids remaining after the boil for each hop.  It does this on a hop-by-hop basis using the alpha acids that have not yet been isomerized in the boil.  This should give a very accurate picture of hop utilization post-boil (as opposed to just applying a factor like 10% to everything) and a good IBU estimate for no chill methods.

Thanks, will check it out  8)

Hi Brad

Just clarifying how to use this.  I have a recipe that has some simcoe (13% - 10g FWH, 60 min boil), 30g at 10 mins, and 30 g at flameout as a 'whirlpool/steep' in the 'use'.  This gives me 43.1 IBU total (16.2, 16 and 10.9).

I will be using a hopspider for all these additions, leaving it in the whirlpool for 15 mins and then removing all of the hops.

If I then click the whirlpool time calculator in the equipment profile (15 mins above 85 deg), the IBU's then change to 19.1, 25.9 and 10.9 for a total of 56 IBUs. I note the whirlpool addition doesn't change IBUs (10.9).  If I then change it to 'boil for 0 mins' (ie flameout), the IBU addition goes to 0, giving me 45 IBU total.  In other words, it isn't counting this flameout addition for its IBUs at all, even though I would have expected it to. 

Shouldn't it still have the 10.9 IBUs from it that the program calculates when it is entered as a whirlpool addition, because this is what the whirlpool part of the equipment profile setup is for?

How is the program designed to handle this now for the schedule I have above (ie those additions, leaving all in for 15 mins in the whirlpool then taking all out)?  I would have thought that the setup giving 56 IBUs is correct

Thanks

And thanks again for the program.  I am liking all of the updates so far, just figuring out how to use your program properly

I see this has been fixed in the latest patch

Brad - if you are reading this - thanks so much for this program.  Your recent updates are awesome.  Looks like I am finally about to be able to get rid of the excel spreadsheets

Congratulations on producing such a great update

Thanks - yes the whilrpool carryover was too large (a little math bug) which I fixed in 2.3.7.  Thanks for the kind words.
