Greetings,
I'm trying to work out how to use a slightly unusual brewing system in BeerSmith. I found a reference to it in Randy Mosher's Radical Brewing, in which he called it the "laziest" method of preparing an all-grain brew. Instead of mashing and sparging to produce six gallons of wort, then boiling it down to five, then cooling it, one produces about three gallons of wort (no sparging), then dilutes it with cool water to fill a five-gallon fermenter. The only drawback is that one must use (according to Mosher) 1.4 times as much grain and 1.1 times as much hops.
My current setup (and lack of money for a new brew pot, wort chiller, and so forth) strongly favors this method. :
How would I go about getting BeerSmith to work with this method?
