Still fairly new to use BeerSmith 2.0 and this may have been requested before.
When adding a new yeast to the Ingredients, need a field to specify actual amount in the yeast package.
Was just revising a recipe and using Mr Malty's Yeast Calculator for determining the amount of dry yeast needed. That's when I noticed there is no option for entering a exact amount, it's all "packages". But there is no way to indicate the size of the yeast package. While most dry yeast packages these days are 11.5 grams, there are still many 5-6 gram packages like Muntons with Coopers at 7 grams and 15 grams.
With smaller 1-3 gallon batches, exact amounts of dry yeast are more critical where ".5 pkgs" could range from 3 grams to 7 grams.
Thanks,
Bob
