Where is the setting to account for the grain temp at mash in?

For example, if I am mashing at 154 for xx mins, I would mash in at 166 to account for the difference.  Both the brewsheet and mash tab say to heat water to 154.

Thanks!
 
Hi,
  There is a grain temperature setting in the mash profile itself if you edit the mash profile.

  Also if you are using a BIAB profile - I recommend setting the first step to be an infusion step and not a "temperature" step.  In the initial release, these were set to temperature (which indicates heating the water slowly over the flame) rather than "infusion" which would calculate the proper hot water addition.

Thanks Brad, setting the first step to infusion worked perfectly.
 
You bet
  Some BIAB brewers heat to reach their first step and others treat it as an infusion - I'm going to add more BIAB profiles to the next update or as an add-on so we have both cases covered.
