OK, I dont understand this:
I do my starter numbers in yeastcalc, based on the OG of the beer I am brewing. When I enter this starter into Beersmith, it LOWERS my ABV. Why is this???? Dates are the same, starter size is the same, stir plate is checked, etc.... Do I now need to adjust my OG to meet the ABV number I am shooting for? This is not making sense at all to me. If I do not input my starter, it keeps my recipe where I want it, but as soon as I enter the starter in, it changes things to where I do not want them. Not sure what to change here... Any input would be appreciated.
