I have a recipe that I am inputting in beersmith 2, but it is a no sparge beer.  I can't find where I can eliminate the sparge amount under the mash tab so it won't show.  Any ideas?

Thanks

Erik,
  If you select a BIAB profile it will actually force you into a no-sparge situation by doing a full boil mash. 

  The only issue you might want to look at if taking this approach is the fact that the grain absorption for BIAB
is much lower than conventional brewing (due to the draining/squeezing of the bag).  However, if you like you
can adjust this parameter by going to the Advanced Options tab and setting the BIAB Grain Absorption equal to
the regular grain absorption.

Brad,

Thanks for the information.  It worked like a charm after I changed it.  At least I know whenever I do that.
