Anyone have any thoughts on inputting hibiscus into Beersmith?
I use dried petals and add them at whirlpool/flame out. I've been inputting them under hops because I have the whirlpool option. I suppose I can input them under miscellaneous at 0 minutes in the boil, but I lose my whirlpool timer.
The problem with both of these options is that I can't impart color into the beer. Obviously hibiscus petals give a pink to reddish hue. I suppose that it isn't a big deal that the SRM in Beersmith isn't representative of what the final product will be, but what just inquiring what others do?
