I am confused about how to use the mineral adjustment feature in BeerSmith. I was looking at the water profile tool and see that you can input the base water volume, pick a target water, calculate adjustments, and save to the target. What confuses me is how to add water to a recipe. When I add water to a recipe it puts in the volume for my batch size (I typically use 5.25 gal batch sizes) and the mineral adjustments for 5.25 gal of water. Is this what I should be adding to the batch? Should I just add these in the mash? I was thinking that it would make more sense to mix a large batch of water (10 gal) ahead of time to use during the brew day. Should I be using the water profile tool for mixing up 10 gal or should I go with the numbers in the recipe formulation?
