Top Up & SG
«

I have just purchased the software after brewing a couple 1 gallon all grain batches while on the trial version. I am trying to brew a 5 gallon extract partial boil. I have set up my equipment and the amount I can boil then the amount I will have to add to top off.
All the stats for my recipe look good but when I go to the brew step sheet I find something odd. It says estimated post boil gravity to be 1.057 then next step it says to top up fermenter with 2 gallons water and that the pre-fermentation gravity should be 1.057. This can’t be since I am diluting my wort. I am wondering which number is correct and if there is a way to have the software account for this during the recipe building stage?
Thanks

Enter your brewing data in this calculator as a check for which SG is more likely correct in BS for your recipe. The Brewer's Friend recipe builder may give you an idea where to change data/defaults in BS.

Unfortunately, with this current build of the software it calculates the post boil gravity with all the water added, even if it is added at the fermentor.
