Hey guys, I love using BeerSmith, but I'm a novice with it.
I have input the Scottish Heavy 70/- from Brewing Classic Styles (pg 127).
I set the brew size to 6g. Chose the 15 Gallon pot with a 10gallon cooler (same sizes to my equipment). I have set my Total Efficiency to 70%.
The numbers are pretty darn close, am I being overly demanding on matching up perfectly? I guess I figured that Jamil is getting these calculations from his software, so it seems reasonable that I should be able to get mine to generate the same numbers given the same inputs.
Which should I go by on brew day? Is there anything else I can do to tweak the software in?
Thanks!
