Hi All,
If I take a recipe say from Brew 250 or BYO magazine, and input it into BeerSmith I get a big variation on estimated OG, SRM, and to some degree IBU. I do go into BeerSmith (2.0) and adjust grains, hops, and etc. I use a 65% efficiency rate in the program as well, as most recipes are laid out for 65% efficiency. So when I get done adjusting for the above the grain bill is somewhat altered as well. I do all grain and I'm wondering why the differences in those vital stats. Also, when adding lactose the program doesn't allow you to input the time to add it to the boil. Please excuse me if I'm wrong on that one. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks all - Great Forum
