Hi gents, Ive been using beersmith for many years now and have all of my parameters setup really well. However I always seem to have the problem where the gravity points gained Post boil are always a lot higher in Beersmith compared to my actual.
For example most of my recipes for a 60 minute boil I will gain around 4 points, but Beersmith says around 8 points. For a 90 min boil I get 7 points, Beersmith says 11 points.
using the formula SG = pre boil volume * pre boil litres/post boil litres matches up with what I actually get and not what Beersmith says.
But I cant find anything wrong with my settings. 3 litre an hour Evap rate is spot on. Preboil volume and post boil volume are always spot on with beersmith too.
Any ideas what else I can look at here?
