I've been brewing for a while and am starting to get into making my own recipes. To start with this software, I thought I'd enter some recipes I have made in the past (extract or extract plus steeped grains). None of these recipes seem to calculate the OG or IBUs to match the starting recipe. For instance, just using a simple recipe of the Long Play IPA liquid extract from Mr. Beer gives an IBU that is too high and OG that is too low. Since there's no standard 2.125 gallon equipment I have created my own equipment entry but it's still very simple.
When I actually brew these recipes, I get OG & FG readings as I would expect, not similar to the BrewSmith calculations. What am I doing wrong? I'd like to be able to use this to track my little tweaks to recipes and eventually build my own but right now it doesn't seem like the software matches with my brewhouse reality.
