I am new to Brew Smith and whole grain brewing. I must be an idiot but can't figure what values to put in my equipment profile. Noting I input seems to match. If anyone is willing to help a "newbie" I'd be greatfull.
I have a plastic igloo 10 gallon Mashtun with a stainless steel false bottom. I Have a 6 gallon brew pot and a 10 gallon igloo plastic hot liq tank. When I try to input my equipment values, it gives a profile for a 10 gallon pot and cooler all grain. ( I won't be making 12 gallon brews, just 6 gallons) (I want to get a full five gallon yield).
Also, on the infusion tab, I don't see a fly sparge option just step infusions or no steps. I'm not sure which profile to pick. I'm making IPA's so I know it should be light body but when I print my steps, it tells me to "batch sparge in 2 steps" in my Mash Steps. ( I intend to mash, then spagre, then boil). Sorry if this is too long but I love the software and don't want to mess up my brew because I'm 'dull' and not getting it.
Any help would be appreciated. All other features I seem to be getting the hang of.
Thanks,
