I'm still learning my way around Beersmith, so hopefully i'm not missing something obvious.
I'm just setting up the equipment for my new full mash setup. I've input all the data in for my boiler, but have noticed something interesting.
As i'm using a converted keg as a boiler, there's a few liters of wort left in the bottom of the keg under the tap. No matter what figure i set this to, when i choose my equipment in a recipe, it doesn't seem to modify the gravity of the beer.
For example, if i put in a crazy figure of 15L of trubb loss in my boiler, for a final batch size of 23L, this gives an initial boil volume of 42.81L.
Now you'd think that starting with 42L and losing 15L to trubb, that the OG would be down a fair bit, and i would need to increase my grain bill, but beersmith doesn't seem to take this into account.
Am i missing something?
