Just purchased this today.
I have added the following recipe (from a different site) to the Beersmith program. My plan was to scale the 3.5 gallon batch size to 5 gallons. Then from that, convert it to an Extract (yes I know the flaked rye won't convert).
When I enter the exact amount from the recipe, the characteristics aren't matching, for example the IBU's did not match.
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Safale WB-06
Batch Size (Gallons): 3.5
Original Gravity: 1.048
Final Gravity: 1.008
IBU: 26
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 4
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 17 days @ 68
Pilsener (Belgian) - 3lbs
Malted Wheat (Belgian) - 3lbs
Flaked Rye - 1lb
Sterling (7.5%) - 0.5oz @ 60min
Sterling (7.5%) - 0.5oz @ 5min
Frozen raspberries - 1.5lbs
I went ahead and kept what the program changed everything to and manually changed the IBU's. I have no idea why I can just randomly change things like this without it effecting the recipe. Anyways, I went to convert it to an Extract and it left out the Wheat Malt (Belgium) ingredient completely. I selected the Pilsner grain as the Base grain. It does the opposite if I select the Wheat as the Base grain. What am I doing wrong or misunderstanding?
