So, i'm formulating the Ballantine IPA recipe based on the one in BYOmag. I popped it into Beer Smith and it's not right. If you put the ingredients into the program AS WRITTEN in BYO it goes WAY over the intended 1.074 OG, 62 IBU and 14 SRM.
Did you set the total efficiency in the formula to 65%? BYO uses that rate for all their recipes unless noted. Then once you have it entered with that rate, you can use the "scale" option to adjust to your own brewhouse efficiency. Also note that it goes for six row pale malt, not two.
I just entered myself and only off slightly on OG, ABV and SRM I am always off to BYO. Here's the log:
