I'm sure that BeerSmith does this, but I've got to ask to make sure: does BeerSmith take into account unfermentable sugars when calculating the final gravity?
For instance, let's say I have a recipe using 8 pounds of pale malt and 1 pound of crystal. Obviously, the program will account for the gravity contribution of the crystal in the starting gravity. Depending on the yeast choice, I'll end up with a predicted final gravity. Does the program use some sort of information in the grain specifications to dictate where the gravity will finish?
I guess what I'm getting at is that I'd like to see a breakdown of how many gravity points are contributed by fermentable sugars, and how many are contributed by unfermentable sugars. I'm sure this is clear as mud... let me know if it makes no sense
