I grew up using a slide rule, what can I say.....
I bought Beersmith and frankly, I'm generally happy with the tools and calculators. What I can't seem to grasp fully is the basic operation of the damn thing.
For example - I have a 10 gallon Igloo cooler/7.5 gallon kettle and although I select that option in the "My equipment" section, when I plug that into my recipes, it fails to accurately calculate my volumes. I did a 90 minute boil Lakewalk all grain over the weekend and ended up with 4.5 gallons in the fermenter instead of 5.5.
RATS!
Any idea how to calibrate the software to match reality?
Appreciate it.
