Nelson Sauvin – Dry Hop 1g/l for 7 days.Amarillo (Whole leaf) 9.3%AA – 60 min.Nelson Sauvin (Whole leaf) 12.8%AA – 60 min.I wanted to have the freedom to quickly change the wattage depending on what I saw going on in the kettle ( I use the full 2500w to quickly go up in temperature but then only 1600w to 1800w to keep it at temperature). The EasyBrew can be fully programmed to go from step to step by itself without too much input from the brewer, but for these first brews I did not try that out. Sparging was easy to figure out on paper too (sparge vol. After doing some quick math on paper (deadspace + water/grain ratio + grain absorbtion), I adjusted my strike water volume. Mashing and sparging: Single infusion mash 67☌ for 60 minutesĪs I started to mash in I realized that the mash was way too thick. 3.6% Crisp Maris Otter (was to make up for the fact that I accidentally didn’t order enough Munich).When I think, I over think, and that doesn’t make my life any easier. I want to be able to create a recipe, then follow the directions in the app without having to think. I don’t want to have to second guess volumes. Starting off I didn’t have a lot of confidence in either program. However, even in BeerSmith the volumes of water still weren’t adding up. So I created my next recipe in both applications. It was great for my previous Batch Sparge system, but with the EasyBrew it just didn’t cut it.īeerSmith seems to be the current market leader for homebrewers, and it offers a lot more settings to play with than BeerAlchemy. If all my beers were going to be around the same strength then that would be alright, but I want to brew stronger or weaker beers without having to play with profile settings. Plus, the only way I could find to factor in the large amount of deadspace under the grain basket in the Easybrew, was to play with the water to grain ratio. My normal software, Beer Alchemy, stopped getting updated. Not only was the EasyBrew new to me but I was also trying out some new brewing software. After brewing Penelope, I had a good idea about the efficiency of the system, but the volumes were not correct yet (strike water, sparge water, boil off rate, etc.). Hop Nest was now going to serve as a calibration recipe for my new Arsegan EasyBrew system/process. ![]() That beer went on to win the best of show in the first Vlaamse Hobby Brouwers Forum competition. ![]() The original recipe was an experiment with 100% Munich Malt paired up with some Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo for an English IPA.
