Hi,
I was playing around with the strike water temperature calculations that BeerSmith calculates. I am currently running 2.2.1.2 (or 2.2.12... my eyes couldn't see if there was a period there). When I created my recipe and selected the mash profile, it gave me a value of 160.9F for the following data:
grain weight: 10.75lbs
mash tun weight: 11.0lbs
mash tun specific heat: .30
current grain and tun temp: 72 F
target temp: 152 F
mash water: 4.4 gallons or 17.6 qts
However, if use these same values in the Infusion tool, I get a much high strike water temperature of 168.1. Any idea why there is a difference? Which one is correct?
I have included a number of attachments to help someone recreate this issue.
