Hi All,
Now that I have a feel that I generally understand the all grain process better, I'm getting ready for batch number #2. I have an IPA kit/recipe that I'm trying to replicate in BeerSmith. Here's the problem I'm facing...
I'm selecting 'Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge'
It corrects the liquor temp to 168.7 degrees to hit 154 degrees at mash in.
However, when viewing the Brew Log/Recipe, it suggests a sparging water temp of 168 degrees which, as I understand it, should be a target temperature - the sparging water should be corrected upward to land at 168. Is this method correct, and if so, any ideas why it is not reflected properly in beersmith? Or is this an ID10-T error on my part?
Thanks!
