I have happily used Beersmith for over 60 batches and am quite happy with the results.... but I have a nagging issue I can't seem to resolve.
When I duplicate a recipe I find on the web Beersmith almost always predicts OG and IBU to perfectly match the copied recipe. The problem is that it always predicts the FG to be a few points higher than the recipe I am copying.
I have tried changing the mash temps, changing the starter volume to no avail. Increasing the malt bill increases the OG but the FG stays the same. I have found that changing the efficiency does affect the FG. The efficiency I have set (72%) seems to always hit my volumes and the OG and even the FG. The problem is that I would like the predicted FG to match the recipe I am copying and be able to brew to hit the original lower FG than what my system projects.
So what do I need to change for Beersmith to predict the same FG as the copied recipe.
I hope this makes sense and am hoping for someone to show me the error of my ways.
