Hello,
I have setup an equipment profile where I have specified a "Top Up Water" amount in the "Fermenter/Bottling Volumes". The idea being, I make a higher gravity wort, and water it down to achieve the desired OG.
For example, I have made a recipe for a end batch size into a fermentor of 66.6L at 1.045 OG from 50L of usable wort from the kettle. To do this, I setup an equipment profile with the "Top Up Water" amount in the "Fermenter/Bottling Volumes" section to specify 16.6L. From my calculations (using the dilution tool in Beersmith) I should therefore be expecting the gravity from the kettle to be 1.060. However, the "Brew Steps" brewsheet states "Estimated Post Boil Vol: 54.69 l and Est Post Boil Gravity: 1.045 SG" whereas I believe it should state "Estimated Post Boil Vol: 54.69 l and Est Post Boil Gravity: 1.060 SG".
Is this a bug or my misunderstanding of how the software should work?
Thanks!
