I'm trying to build an Extract recipe using two sorts of DME as my base malt, but I also want to steep a couple of malts as specialty grains. It lets me add them just fine, but it is my understanding that because they are steeped (at a lower temperature) rather than boiled, they don't add a great deal to the fermentables.
Do I have to tell Beersmith somehow that I'm steeping them at the beginning of the process and then removing them, rather than boiling these grains - I'm worried that otherwise it's going to throw the Gravity and ABV calculations off otherwise?
