Mash Made Easy version 9.10 is now up on my website in both USA and Metric versions.
Changes include:
1) Automates the previously manually adjusted % Kolbach, and attempts to make it better conform to the research done by D.G. Taylor, wherein its mission is to hit Kolbach's predicted downward shift for moderate levels of Ca++ and Mg++, and better reflect Taylor's predicted downward shift for same at higher mineral addition levels.
2) Adds a means to rectify upward pH shift when using Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2, wherein the OH- ion is strongly raising the mash pH simultaneous with the Ca++ component weakly lowering the mash pH. As Mash Made Easy does not know if you will be using Baking Soda or Calcium Hydroxide to raise pH in advance, it initially calculates the automated % Kolbach for Baking Soda. After the calculated quantity is properly entered into the "Mineral Addition" field in the top/right, Mash Made Easy will at that time realize that you have actually chosen to add Ca(OH)2, and whereby it internally makes an initial decent attempt to resolve the % Kolbach for the added Ca++ upon mash pH, it may "after the fact" discover a need to make a minor correction. So for the case where Mash Made Easy is slightly off in its initial internal Ca(OH)2 % Kolbach projection of the final computed mash pH, it subsequently calculates and presents to the end user a small revision quantity to be added or subtracted to its initially calculated Ca(OH)2 quantity. This correction step is necessary because the adding of Ca(OH)2 is a future event until it is actually selected over Baking Soda.
As always, Mash Made Easy is free and complete. Simply download from the website seen below.
