Hi guys I'm new here. I have brewed before but only from recipe kits. I am currently in the process of trying to make a 5 gallon batch of Belgian Wit but am utterly confused when using the beersmith program. I just have no idea how to build recipes or how much of any ingredient is required for any recipe. The yeast, hops, spices and everything I have are on par with what I need for the 5 gallon brew but my grains seem to be lacking, I have 1 lb of carapils, 1 lb biscuit malt, 1 pound light extract and 1 pound dry wheat extract. Something tells me this will not be enough to yield a good beer. How do I calculate how much extract I need? How much more do I need to make this brew successful?
