I am new to Beersmith2 and I was hoping to use it to create my first AG BIAB recipe. I am using the mini-BIAB equipment profile and want to make apx 3 g batches.
However the mash volumes I am getting are all wrong. My profile is set up for a 5 gal pot but the scaled down recipe is calling for 4.715 gal of mash water... I feel like if I add 7 lbs of grain to this it will overflow.
I also see that the program is telling me that the mash volume needed is 5.15 g and it has a little red dot telling me that this is bad. Well ok then Mr Beersmith2 program sir please scale it down until I get a blue dot telling me everything is ok that's why I have this program to scale these kinds of things.
Then I try to read the manual and it has little relation to the actual program but I guess that is neither here nor there for now...
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? I see people making 3 g batches of BIAB all the time why is Beersmith telling me this is impossible?
