Hi all, I'm new to AG BIAG brewing, been a kit brewer for many years and have never been totally happy with any of my beers. So excited about moving up!!
Just a couple questions about Beersmith 2 (downloaded app to phone) for now. I've read that it has an expected mash ph when you pump in a recipe but mine doesn't have this feature? I can find ?mash ph? inside the ?mash profile? tab but it's just set to 5.2 unless I manually change it, which means nothing. Doesn't matter what type of malt I have selected for a recipe or what type of water. I can't imagine that's right. People say you can also choose a water profile and have the app tell you what's required of yours to match it but this I can't find either. Apparently there's a version 2.3 but the app store just had 2 and 2 lite. It seems a good app but dissapointing all the good stuff seems to be missing. I go to design a test recipe so I can get used to using it but always end up disheartened by something missing. Even something as simple as priming sugar. Sure, you can choose from a great list and enter volume but I can't see anywhere that tells me how many grams I have to prime it with to reach the carb level I apparently selected. I must be doing something wrong, couldn't be this bad, could it..?
