Hi,
I am new to BeerSmith and need advice on when creating a recipe if to use Extract setting or partial mash.
I am brewing using a light malt extract but mashing out some speciality grains in a bag in the boiler prior to boiling. I have added my speciality grains to the recipe. If I select Extract then I get one value for estimated original gravity (and it changes when I change the amount of grains). If I set up a BIAB mashing profile, select this and select partial mash the estimated original gravity jumps up significantly.
Which is the correct setting for what I am trying to achieve?
