I have some questions that would clear things up for me a little
1. I can not find all the info needed for Beersmith for the grain Rahr. I find some info here and there but it's somewhat conflicting and I don't know what to trust. Tried to put a recipe together on Beersmith which I got from my local brew shop. It included Rahr but with the numbers I'm using the gravity's don't match what the brew shops recipe says. I copied another recipe onto Beersmith from the same shop and the gravity's were spot on. All the grains from that recipe could be found on Beersmith. This leads me to believe my numbers for Rahr are incorrect. Where can I find all the right numbers needed for this grain ?
2. I notice Beersmith says use 4 or 5 packs of yeast for a 10 gal all grain batch if not using a starter. I always assumed it was 1 pack for every 5 gal. Then I noticed these brew shop recipes don't say how many packets to use but just the type. I know Beersmith is a good trusted program but is that right or am I reading it wrong or inputting something in wrong ?
3. Instructions say to age 30 days on the two recipes I built. Is that after the beer carbonates or is that including the carb process ?
4. Under fermentation there is a field for bottling volume. If I change that number the prime sugar amount stays the same. Shouldn't that change ?
I appreciate any help. Thank you
