Larry, thanks much for your reply. I downloaded your MME v 11.0 last night. I have not used it, and not any of the previous versions. I will now, since you provided some instructions.
Are there other instructions for its use? I was unable to find them. but I admit I was unable to spend time to comprehend the operation of it and figure it out myself.
Larry,
As easy as your spreadsheet name implies, now that I spent time entering data from a completed batch I brewed recently, that used another water calculator.
Several questions, though.
1) Entering my batch data and results, a sample of 170° F post-mash and sparge wort cooled to 68-70° was at 5.66pH, verses the MME 5.75pH prediction, using a fresh-calibrated Apera pH60. Does the "DI mash pH manual override", "Buffering coefficient manual override", or the "Kohlbach ... shift multiplier" inputs affect this? CaCl2 only was added to this batch, and I selected 100% anhydride to match the other calculator ppm. The other calculator had a 5.47pH prediction.
2) Can I make my CaCl2 solid mineral form into a liquid form, and how? Will the liquid composition be stable?
Thanks,
Jeff
The answer is 'yes' to all of these, but the very same logic as above applies. It would be highly irrational to chase changes (both for me and for you) based upon a single data point.Does the "DI mash pH manual override", "Buffering coefficient manual override", or the "Kohlbach ... shift multiplier" inputs affect this?
