My volumes got all out of wack after moving to biab with promash, so I have since went back to mashing in a cooler and I am trying out Beersmith for a fresh start. I am trying to dial in my volumes. Can someone tell me if I'm moving in the right direction? The changes below are the changes I made after I brewed the recipe below.
I changed Mash Tun Specific Heat from .30 to .35 because I was a couple degrees low on my mash temp. I did not preheat.
I changed Lauter Tun Deadspace from .80 to .52
I changed my brewhouse efficiency to 65%
Here is the recipe i brewed.
