Partigyle Session Input

S

Swillbilly

Whats the best way to enter in a partigyle session into BeerSmith?  I entered the data for the 1st beer 1st runnings, a Wee Heavy, but trying to figure out how to enter the data for the 2nd beer 2nd runnings a Shilling 60.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Not going to cap the grains for the second beer.
 
Just figure your efficiency as the same as normal or a little higher, then split it however you like.
E.g., if you would get 1.140 OG at 70% and you want your Wee Heavy to come out at 1.095, set the efficiency to 47%, then just duplicate the recipe, rename to 6-/ and set the efficiency to 22%. I doubt the color will be exact, but you should get in the ballpark.
About the overall efficiency, it takes experience on your system to know how well you'll do on a big brew, but keep in mind this is not a 5g batch at 1.095; it's a 10g batch at 1.070, if you can dig it. (Just split differently.)
