Mash ~ For All-Grain Brewing for Android
NEW! MASH TUN HEATLOSS COMPENSATION:
Enter your mash-tun's thermal mass to adjust for heat loss when you are not heating your mash-tun to the strike temperatures.
FEATURES:
• Fahrenheit & Celsius
• Metric & US Measurement Scales
• Mashtun Heatloss Compensation (Advanced Setting)
HOW TO USE:
Swipe left and right between 3 screens that control grain, water and desired temperature. Drag the grain and water levels up and down, spin the temperature on the thermometer to set and calculate target and strike (infusion) temperatures. Use the + and - buttons to nudge each measurement. Use the info button to help learn what to do in each screen.
TO CALCULATE TEMPERATURES:
1 - Enter your grain weight and grain temperature
2 - Enter volume of water
3 - Set the desired temperature to see calculated strike (infusion temperature)
WHY USE IT:
Different homebrew recipes may call for different infusion temperatures and methods. Stop approximating and start your mash off right with Mash. Over or undershooting your infusion temperatures cost you time, effect your efficiency and can change the flavor profile. Get right in the temperature zone the first time and save yourself from scrambling and adjusting.
- Doesnt say how big your mash will be when you mix grain and water. - Doesnt calculate OG. (would be nice to see how much grain to use to get i.e. 1.065 SG) Just 4 fields you can edit, nothing more.
I have been using this app to get a ballpark estimate of my strike temp but the lack of mash tun parameters was disappointing. I noticed that mash tun thermal mass has finally been added. I was about to test it out on the Belgian Quad I am making but the upper limit for grain is 50 pounds and I need 60. Also, the lower limit for grain temp is 60 and I need 53.
Easy to use. No math needed casue this does it for you. Gives whatever ratio you want. Haven't used the update yet
Got me the mash temperature first try. Amazing. (Note: I used a .3 heat loss compensation which worked perfect for my igloo cooler mash tun). Would love to see some more features added (e.g. mash out temperature, batch sparge temperature, etc.)
Easy to use and very accurate.
I use this app every time I brew. It works perfect every time. It's accurate. For all grain brewers, this app is essential. Absolutely love it!
Looks great and is very helpful.

Very handy to get in the ballpark, but no calibration for mash tun makes it kind of worthless.
Must have, easy to use. Brilliant app
Not bad but needs to be able to factor in the heat loss for the mash tun to be more accurate.
Works great. Simple to use
This is a great app!! Easy to use and accurate. Ideal for all levels of home brewers. Hope to see more like these in the future.
Useful tool. Developer very helpful and communicative. Is writing an update based on feedback. No problems with HTC Desire.
Highly useful, fantastic app
Simple, easy, does what it needs to

Great for single mash temp mashing. Lacks calculation for second.
