Hello! I just started using BeerSmith, and I gotta say, man oh man has this thing got a lot of knobs! Not a complaint, just an observation and a bit of a learning curve/challenge for me.
I searched this forum a (very) little for the origins of the 1.25 water/grain ratio, but all I found were threads about how to change that figure. When J. Palmer and others suggest a standard of 1.5 - 2 quarts of water for every pound of grain, why does BeerSmith default to 1.25? Why not 1.5 or 2.0 or something in that range?
