I only brew 1 gallon batches for many reasons and I prefer it. I usually have several at the ready. Anyways, I am now moving up to 3 gallon fermenter and BIAB and partial mash only.

I wanted to scale accurately and quickly so I downloaded the mobile app. I watched a few videos about the app, but still want to ask a few questions in order to feel comfortable with the process.

I want to do a stout with BIAB. I use a 4 gallon stainless steel pot. I don't do secondary fermentation.
I have only done extract brewing in the past and I had to add a half gallon of water at the end of the boil.

Also, why in the  equipment section of  Beersmith 2.0 pulldowns does it show pot 3 gallons -extract 5 gallons?
Thank you for any replies, I am very, very green when it comes to brewing.

For the equipment profile I put the following information into Beersmith 2.
