Hey all,
I am new to BeerSmith (just got the trial to learn it), I also found a great book with many recipes.
I am trying to build the recipes with BeerSmith so I may modify it but the recipes aren't working out for me like they should.
The book states:
All recipes are All Grain
When I put the recipe in BeerSmith I end up with OG * "Tot efficiency" of the recipe - in other words, if I set up my tot efficiency to 80%, and the recipe claims I should end up with 1.060 OG, BeerSmith will show 1.048 OG. Raising Tot efficiency to 100% will yield an accurate result.
Assuming that my system has an 80% tot efficiency, shouldn't the quantities of grains get me the desired OG?
Is there a setting I am missing?
Pleas advice!

The book states:
All hop and malt quantities for making a brew with the listed specifications are calculated for brew systems with a nominal, average system extract efficiency of 80 percent [...] Extract efficiency is essentially the amount of wort you get from a given amount of dry grist.
