Three questions.
1. For extract brewing should the boil volume setting include the total water plus extract or just the total water added to the boil?
2. I boiled a second batch of extract without hops for 10 mins then added it to the fermenting beer after cooling. In the BeerSmith application i'm thinking I should check "Add After Boil" for this extract as it was not boiled with hops. Am I on the right track here?
3. The Fermenter top of water setting doesn't seem to change any parameters when I adjust it. Is this just an FYI setting or is it utilized for any calculations?
