totally new to all of this and I want to get it right. Im not exactly sure what to put in the boxes for the volume and weight of my mash tun. Its a common converted Spartenburg Keg. I know it holds 15.5 gallons (right?) but is that what I want to put in the volume box? I mean I'll never put 15.5 gallons in there will I? and What is the weight?  What specific heat is normal for this set up.. thanxx in advance for any help!  ;D
 
I'd enter 14 or 15 for volume.  BSmith tracks that and warns you if your recipe exceeds it.

Weight is the weight empty.  That plus 10 gallons of water is dang heavy.  Be careful.  :0

There is a default setting for stainless.
