I am brewing my first all grain this weekend, it is the NorthernBrewer Irish Red kit.
Here are the Gains specified in the kit.
7.5 lbs. Rahr 2-Row Pale
0.75 lbs. Dingemans Caramel Pils
0.25 lbs. Briess Special Roast
0.125 lbs. Dingemans Biscuit
0.125 lbs. Simpson's Chocolate
This is what I put into Beersmith(Don't know if I translated properly from kit to BS):
7 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 85.62 %
12.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 8.56 %
4.0 oz Special Roast (50.0 SRM) Grain 2.85 %
2.1 oz Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM) Grain 1.48 %
2.1 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 1.48 %
The OG from the Kit says 1.040, but beersmith says 1.045?
(I have brewhouse eff set at 75% in BeerSmith).
Which one is correct and which should I be shooting for?
Thanks
