As a home brewer and long time Beersmith user, I found that once your equipment is dialed in, you get repeatable results.
One exception is color.
Ever since I can remember, my beers have been approximately 4 points off of the SRM shown in Beersmith for a given grain bill. They taste fine, but I getn unexpectedly dark pale ales and so forth.
I don't see a way to correct for that, so I change recipes to remove chocolate or go to lower crystal values. This works, but since we have computers and software, a simple equipment profile accomodation might allow me to know what I'm going to get.
Is there a possiblity to add an equipment profile characteristic to calibrate for color?
Or any other suggestions?
Thanks,
