Just a quick question....when creating a new recipe, when entering "batch size", should this take into account volume loss due to trub, cooling, etc.? Or does Beersmith already take that into account?
For example, I want to enter a recipe that will net me 10 gallons of finished beer. Generally, my boil volume will leave me with 11 gallons left post-boil, all of which gets transferred to the fermentation tank through my chill wizard (resulting in some volume loss), and then an additional 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon lost to trub, resulting in a total finished beer of 10 gallons.
I just want to be sure, since what you enter in batch size impacts your estimated OG, IBU, etc..
Thanks!
