Now that the cold brewing season is here (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere at least), it is useful to know how to adjust BeerSmith if your grains and mash tun happen to start out at a cold temperature...
Lets pretend its 45F garage, and your grains and mash tun are stored at this temperature.
Here's how to adjust the mash profile to account for the cold start...
1. Open the recipe you want to brew.
2. Press the "Details" button next to the Mash Profile name.
3. Adjust the "Grain/Tun Temperature" in the Mash Profile to be 45 F (or whatever your mash tun and grain start at).
4. Press OK
5. Make sure your equipment profile is set correctly
See: http://beersmith.com/equipment_setup.htm
6. Check the block "Adjust Temp for Equipment" in your recipe's Mash Profile if not already checked.
Now BeerSmith will adjust the mash temperatures to compensate for the cold grains and mash tun.
Cheers!
