    BruControl: Brewery control & automation software

    I have a bunch of cheap PT100s and some of them arrive DOA or simply stop working after being in service. Rather than buying new housing, stem etc can I just replace the sensor itself (resistor?). Does anyone know a link to a part that might fit here? The ceramic insulators are around 3/16" OD...

    I used Beersmith for years and recently switched to BrewFather and I love it. Try that one out

    Beersmith vs Grainfather Significantly Different Results

    Have you checked attenuation on the yeast, ppg for the grain and efficiency? Perhaps the batch size is defined or set differently, into the kettle or fermenter-trub/chiller loss would play into this

    I got some sodium citrate on the way, not sure if it's tri or mono. I'll try a partial substitute I dunno maybe 50/50 by sodium contributions?? Lol

    Energy drink came out really good, ended up making a sugar free and sugared version. I made a mistake and added Guarana as my source of caffeine but it ended up giving it good flavor anyway. The second batch I'm gonna sub out Guarana for pure caffeine and rely on natural/artificial flavors to...

    I'm gonna mix these up using carbonated RO water in three separate 5gal kegs, put on gas similar to carbing a beer and serve.

    I did a 1/2 gallon test batch today. Combined a few of the ingredients and measured pH along the way as they were added. I then added citric acid to a finish pH of 3.1. Everything dissolved really well even in 40F carbonated water. I added a bit of passion fruit extract and all tastes great...

    Do you think I should warm anything up or do the first test cold?

    I'm having a hard time understanding why a buffer is used only to be depleted. What are your thoughts on them using the reaction to carbonate? I'll post the results

    Thanks for checking. What your describing is similar to what my plan currently is. I'm now stuck on the reactions between citric acid and magnesium carbonate and the fact that magnesium carbonate is insoluble with water.

    I wonder what this would do to pH? Finished pH needs to be 3.3. @Silver_Is_Money

    I wonder if they mix this in a pressure vessel to make the carbonated water?

    They mention they use carbonated water for the buffer. I wonder if this would suggest they do not boil it...wouldnt that drive off the co2? I didnt see trisodium citrate on the can so I'm a bit weary to toss that in...I have no clue what reactions could occur. Tho the wiki link says they use it...

    I am looking to reverse engineer Redbull energy drink and brew something similar. I am able to reference the back of can, nutritional facts and general online searches to solve for grams/oz of caffeine, taurine, vitamins etc. Where I am stuck on is pH and additions that affect pH such as the...
