I've had a problem since I started using Beersmith with the strike water temp calculator being off by about 4F. I've tried to get serious and have entered all my mash tun/system information into the Equipment section, I've selected that in my recipe, but the temp its giving me is still 4F too low on the recipe view page. For this recipe, I'm using the Single Infusion, Medium body default, then changing the "water to add" to 18qt and the step temp to 152F. It tells me my strike temp should be 162.7F. (For testing purposes I duplicated a recipe I just made and have modified the equipment and am trying to get it to give me the right strike water temp in the Recipe View page) Strangely, if I go to the "Strike/Infusion Temp" tool on the left hand side bar and enter in all the same data, including the mash tun weight (which I had already entered under my equipment), then I get the same water/grain ratio but the strike temp is listed as 166.4F, which based on my experience, should be pretty much right on. Why are these two so different?
