But I say it’s better to have the attitude that you are going to brew for the rest of your life, so there’s really no hurry. I remember a lot of times thinking “Well I better get it right the first time, because what if I move on to a new hobby or stop brewing”. It’s hard when you are just starting out to imagine having 10 or 20 or 30 brews under your belt. How can you know? It takes a bit of critical thinking, but also personal experience which you’ll only gain by continuing to brew and continuing to make those mistakes.

There is a lot of bad information out there, as well as what borders on superstitious practices and processes that ultimately have little effect on your homebrew. I love to Google for some homebrew terms and read threads as much as the next homebrewer, but my advice to you is to make sure you gather multiple opinions. So then I would turn off the burners, add the DME very slowly, and the boil would take another 10 minutes to start up again, at which point I worried that I didn’t boil it correctly. I would wonder “Do I turn off the burners before adding the DME? Do I add all the DME at once, or do I have to slowly stir it in while pouring? I read a random homebrew forum thread that says you can scorch your DME and you should add half of it after 30 minutes!”. It seemed like the 10 or 15 steps should really have been 50 or 100! It would say something like “Heat the water to a boil and then add DME”. I remember when I first started brewing from kits I would read the instructions and have a million questions. They are really unavoidable, in my opinion, because brewing beer is such a complex combination of art and science. Part of the hobby of brewing (for some, like me, a big part) is making mistakes. If the results in BeerSmith are close with the BW model for enough beers, I will feel confident that I can skip the external water calculations.Let’s face it. I will continue to use a separate spreadsheet calculator for now. Then I put the results into BeerSmith so everything is in one place. Right now I do most of my design in BeerSmith, but I use ezBrewingWater for acid and minerals. My guess is that the 'BW model' uses the Bru’n Water algorithm from Martin Brungard and 'MPH' is Mash PH described at Does anyone have more information? There's no information about what these models are. In general the BW model results in similar pH estimates, but the acid additions are significantly lower than the MPH model. You can now choose whether to use the MPH model (recommended) or a new BW model. The release notes say: There are new mash pH models available under the mash screen. I may be ready to trust BeerSmith for acid additions with 3.1 installed. My experience was that BeerSmith overestimated the acid needed, so I ran through some of my recipes to see how it changed. I installed 3.1 on top of my 3.0 installs and did some tests for acid additions.
