Hi guys,
I noticed a weird thing with BS2.3, or at least this is what I think.
When I brew with my Braumeister 50l, I split the batches (so that buckets fit in my fermentation fridge).
I sometimes make some tests because I have 2 buckets, dry hop most often, but more recently I am testing a substitute to WB-06 (that I think I dislike but my friends loved the beer) in the second bucket.
So here's what I did :
=> opened the 50l recipe
=> added the second yeast (so that both yeast will appear in order list)
=> I am very aware that BS is not ment to handle both yeasts, within session tab, I put information in comments section and consider BS very useful when brewing, and until fermentation starts (for water calculation, stock, ...)
Then what I noticed :
As I am now fermenting those 2 buckets with those 2 different yeasts. The two buckets did not have the same gravity when I checked today, so I came back to BS to check that out.
=> if I change quantity on those yeasts (switching/selecting yeast by "zeroing" quantity or not), this has no effect on attenuation calculation (final gravity stays the same).
=> I have to delete yeast (keep only one at a time) to have the final gravity correctly calculated.
So my overall question : is it normal that putting a yeast to "zero" quantity will anyway keet that yeast for final gravity calculation ?
If I put zero quantity to a grain, then it is not used for gravity calculation, same for hops.
If this is normal, I would recommend to inform the end user that "0" quantity for a yeast is not acceptable.
Maybe there is a reason for brews using two yeasts in one bucket (for some sour beer for instance) that I don't understand. But right now it looks weird to me.
Thanks for any clarification, and help me understand how BS handles yeasts.
