Great recipe, but I have a quick question. Beer smith tells me I need 3.98 gallons of sparge water but the recipe calls for 6. Please advise thanks alot. |

What's the water/grain ration you're using for your strike volume? If that's higher, then it'll lower your required sparge volume. There may also be some differences with beersmith settings (i.e., boil-off rate, MLT loss, chiller loss, etc.) but it shouldn't cause 2 gallons difference.
FYI - whenever I brew a new recipe for the first time, the only things I look at are grain bill, hop schedule, and the mash temp. I let Beersmith do the rest of the calculations based on my system and preferences.

I don't have beersmith here at work with me. I'll double-check when I get home, but 4 gals sounds right according to my quick pencil&paper calculations. I probably have the recipe wrong. If so, I'll update it.

Sparky I just bottled and ended up with a FG of 1012 so I am fine with that also instead of using makers I went with my personal favorite bourbon, Knob Creek. Also I am looking forward to having a cold one of these in 3 weeks, but I doubt my neighbors will let me get through our block party on the 12th w.o craking a few open. Also I in a bottle there might be a suprise glass shard, bc as i was raking i knoced over the hydrometer and did not have a lid on the bottling bucket but it was a good 30cm away from wher the hydrometer broke.

Sure, try one in a few weeks, but hold out on drinking those as long as you can. 3-4 months from now they'll really smooth out! And if you can wait until it get's cold, they make a great winter drink by the fire.
