Hi.
On a Danish forum a question has been raised about the Carbonation Tool. As DME fermentability is based on an average yield in the carbonation tool this can provide faults in carbonation levels.
Compared to The Beer Recipator (http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/recipator/carbonation.html?11569667#tag) this difference is quite high.
In this small online calculator it is possible to adjust the fermentability.
It's also possible to choose a natural carbonation on kegs, which too will give somewhat different calculations on how much sugar is needed to get the desired level of carbonation.
I don't know how much difference there might be between DME across the world, but it seems the calculations made by The Beer Recipator would fit the DME available here in Denmark. I have personally had a few undercarbonated beers, using Beersmiths calculation of the DME amount to add.
Would it be possible to add these functions in a later update of Beersmith?
Any other comments on this?
