So this is making me go mad. Absolutely mad. I'll get right to the point. Brewtarget seems worthy of being given a fair chance. My last batch missed my mash temp quite a bit. "User error perhaps, I'll try again later." Then again today. Both times I scrambled and with a quick boiling water infusion managed to get my temps right within 15 minutes. Hopefully not ruined, currently relaxing with homebrew.
So I tinkered with the software a bit more after this second problem. If I select any form of single infusion mash, being the default profile or create one it gives me 18.5L @ 85 degrees C. Target temp 65.5. But then going through the "Mash Des" button and moving the slider to 18.5 L it gives a strike water temp of 73. That's a noteworthy difference. The other catch is that using the "Mash wiz" button will set the initial infusion to 73 (regardless of previous number) and add the sparge water.
Is something strange going on that I don't know about? Or did I just screw things up and now admitting it?
Thanks.
