This is not a question, just looking for the logic if you have input I would love to hear it. I often download in BeerSmith recipes of beers that have won awards or others think are great beers. Even before I make adjustment for my equipment and batch size, not all the time, but often the numbers for the selected profile are off the charts, color, % alc, bitterness or you name it. More or less, BeerSmith does not agree with the selected recipe for that profile.
BeerSmith is great for making adjustments for a given style and I do it all the time. I make adjustment for recipes based on what assets I have on hand too. I always try to stay within the numbers for a given style. Granted I’ve never been to, or expect to win, a beer competition. So how is it, if the profile numbers are so far off, that the recipe still wins or gets raving reviews? Not really a question rather just an observation. I say more power to you as long as it’s good beer.
I stepped into brewing with both feet two years ago, All Grain, BeerSmith Program, books and equipment all at once. No regrets and it has been a learning experience ever since. This is even my first time on a forum. Cheers and any thoughts?
