I just noticed that when using the Rager formula that ships w/ BT, the flame-out additions (or 0 min) still show 5.2% utilization. However, the real Rager formula has a zero utilization for said addition. I realize you can adjust it but I'm wondering why this is? thxs

I just noticed the gravity at the start of boil on the printout. Really cool. It saves time having to do it myself. Could you put it onscreen as well? Sometimes I don't always printout. Thanks, Jamie. Where on the print-out - I don't see if for some reason?? Would also be nice to see the brix numbe...

A Fly Sparge Schedule is nearly identical to a Batch Sparge Schedule for the Mash In and Saccharification Rest.

I just tried calibrating everything but the strike temp prediction is 15 degrees lower than what ProMash is computing. BTP is saying a stike temp of 172* while ProMash is saying 187* (that's the strike temp I used for my last batch and hit my temps perfectly). My Calibration parameters for the MT: A...

Hi everyone, I just purchased BTP. I've been using ProMash for the last 5 or so years and decided to switch. Anyways, I'm hoping for some help on setting up my Equipment so that I can accurately predict my strike temp. I use a converted sanke keg with a false bottom (Sabco) for my MT and a sanke keg...
