I do Mr Beer sized batches. I don't really need BeerSmith for those, but I want to start doing my own mini hop boils and partial mashes etc. Can someone point me to where I should start in order to learn how to set up BS2 for this?
Basically I do 3 types of batches:
1. Mr Beer HME + DME/LME - don't need BS2 for these
2. DME + Hops in 1.25 gallon to make a concentrated wort, (might have some steeped grains too) that gets diluted down with water to fit in the Mr Beer keg (2.13 gallons approx.)
3. Partial Mash of grains (simple biab) + DME to make 1.25 gallons, then a hop boil, and then diluted down with water to 2.13 gallons.
I don't want to do bigger batches, (1.25 gallons is about all I can boil) or go all grain yet, but BeerSmith is such an impressive program, I'd really like to use it to take a little of the guess work out of the last 2 batch types.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
