Hey everyone,
I notice that on the main page of Beersmith that you have a open field for your Batch size. I typically brew 5 Gallon batches. I do keep track of my different hydrometer readings and the efficiency calculations that Beersmith does for you. If you click the button for Brewhouse efficiency and look at the popup and specifically the area called "Efficiency into the fermenter". There also lists an area for "Actual Batch Volume". So, I like to fill up my fermenter to about 5.5 Gallons as I know that I will have some losses to the trub & yeast cake that forms.
My question is that should I enter on the main screen 5.5 G or 5G.
Thoughts?
Chris
