I am working on my first recipe in BeerSmith.  I am doing an extract batch.  I am using Extra Pale DME amd steeping CaraPils, Crystal 10 and Vienna.  My question is this...

Is Beersmith smart enough to know that I will get very few, if any gravity points by steeping Vienna?  I am using mostly for flavor and color.

 
Set it the Type: Partial Mash and put in a low EE%, like 40%. 

Mash at 155F for 20+ minutes and it should do fine.  If using a bag, let it drain in another pot and collect every drop possible.  Keep adding the drippings.
