I intend to brew a very high gravity beer (around 15%avb). I plan to use multiple strains to accomplish my goal. I will start primary with two Belgian strains that will impart my desired flavor characteristics and finish with WLP099 for attenuation.
Now, when I enter these into beersmith, it estimates my abv to be 15.3%. When I save and come back to the recipe it shows 14.2%. I thought that changing the order of the yeasts in the recipe would change something, but it appears they organize by alphabet. Shouldn't it calculate based on highest degree of attenuation? Why would it change when I save?
