Hello,
I have been using Beersmith 1.4 for about 8 years and I am amazed at how much beer I have made without knowing how to use the program properly!
So I have been reverse engineering the program setup based upon my system. I am a batch sparger that brews 5 gallon batches.
Yesterday I brewed a red ale starting with 10.3 pounds of grain. I wound up with 9 gallons in my brew kettle with a pre-boil gravity of 9.3 plato. I boiled this for 90 min to end up with my O.G. of 13.1 plato. This is exactly the target gravity in Beersmith. But, if I look at the pre-boil estimate on the brew sheet Beersmith states I should have had 7.6 plato.
So I am trying to go back and adjust to get the brewsheet to read 9.3 plato as a pre-boil estimate but I can not get it to work.
I had a look at the efficiency tab abd input my number there as well.
Thanks for your help!
