Just figured it out: brewersfriend has the IBU lower because of the whirlpool step. Whirlpool hop utilization was at 0%. Once I raised that to 10% the softwares basically march at that point. All good now, thank you all for you responses!

And from what I seeing, it appears that if I update brewers friend so it’s the entire boil rather than FWH, it’s about the same. But the other software keeps it around 40 when I change things up…I just don’t know which software to believe for IBUs

I originally came to the same conclusion because it makes sense, but what’s concerning is brewersfriend doesn’t calculate FWH like that it seems. And if brewersfriend is using an invalid calculation for that, not sure what else could be wrong with the software…thoughts?

BrewrsFriend is putting the IBU at 20 while other software is putting it at 41. Should I update the hop schedule and rather than put FWH, I just put in the boil time? I’m confused…sorry

Hello all, I’m currently in the process of developing a batch of beer to test out first wort hopping. The problem is: im getting different calculations of the IBU depending on which software I use. From what I can gather, BrewersFriend calculates FWH equivalent to a 20 minute hop boil. what im...

Well, the recipe calls for boiling the ginger root for the entire 60 minute boil. It also calls for the cinnamon for the same. I imagine it will give it good flavors though

Check out my update in this thread, sorry that took so long to reply!

Updated! See above!

That is a fancy Keezer right there. One day I may upgrade my keezer to something like this

Hi everyone. Sincerest apologies for not updating on my keezer porn. I can fit 2 five gallon kegs but I’m using only 1x 5 gallon for general beers like ipa or pale ales. I also use a 3 gallon that I use for more Experimental type beers like custom recipes I am trying out. what has been on tap...

I’m going to brew a 3-gallon Christmas Ale and I’m not sure what to do in regards to cinnamon sticks and diced ginger root. Should I add the spices into the boil, if so, when? info I’ve found online tells me I can possibly add everything at 10 minutes left on the boil. Some say at flame out, I...

I built my first keezer ever and looking forward to using it soon! The total cost of materials was about $251. The chest freezer was $160 at Lowe’s (on sale), the wood was $25, the faucet was $24, and the sealant I used was about $7 from Lowe’s. Yes, I’m only doing one keg right now, but later...

Yeah, good call. After messing around for a day, I figured out that the 12 degree differential was the first time I plugged in and cooled down the keezer. It’s not dropping that much anymore and staying right around where I need it. thanks for the wisdom here!

Hello all, I just got the inkbird ITC-308 and I’m currently testing it out. It works great but when the cooling temp is reached, where the inkbird does shut off the keezer, the keezer will run a few more minutes and the temp drops about 12 degrees lower than where I want it to be. what’s a...

Ive decided to buy a simple chest freezer and turn it into a keezer. :)

thanks all for the replies

Thanks for the update and info. Yeah, sorry about the lack of pictures. You are correct though, glass door with no molding plastic or shelving that can be removed. It is not deep enough due to the molded plastic thats covering the compressor hump. Its about 4-6 inches too shallow for the keg to...

unfortunately…no

unfortunately no. It’s a single glass door (see through). No shelves or anything like that. The only way I can use this Is if I can extend it somehow. This is the exact product, it seems like it’s going to be wide enough right? However, that darn motor housing takes up just about half of the...

Hello all you fine home brewers and home brew enthusiasts. I recently acquired a 5 gallon corny keg and a 5lb CO2 tank. The problem I’m having is I don’t really have a place to keep it cold. I do have a beverage cooler but it’s like most mini fridges and there is this step like thing in the...
