I guess i am dense,stupid of maybe just missing something.
I am using Beersmith 2.2.13 trial to see if's something useful to "me" before I buy it. (as do I really need it as an extract brewer) but i have some questions.
1. I'm not sure how to set up the equipment profiles. I brew with extracts w/steeping grains sometimes. 2.5 gal starting boils. (water in kettle) 5gal. batch. I also will probably try 1/2 extract at boil with remainder close to flame out. So the question is what should my setup numbers be?.
2. I made a kit and the OG (1.049) and IBU's (53-57) are off (OG (1.061) IBU's (24.5) in BS) from both the recipe and my results. Thoughts, ideas? I suspect it has to do with my Equp. profile coupled with my ignoance. Can any one offer insight?
Thanks Joel B.
P.S. If more info is needed I'll do my best to profide it, just ask. Thanks again.
