Adding hops to Beersmith (Summit, Palisade0

[jmkratt]

Ok I am trying to add two hop varieties to Beersmith (18.1 AA Summit and 6.7 AA Palisade, specifically).

I know I can use an existing profile and edit the AA, but what about the Beta? If this is off will it drastically affect my calculations?

i use beersmith, and never worry about the beta

Right on. Thanks for the quick response!

You can add them to the Hops section to save for later too, just hit Add Hops, then NEW in the bottom left corner. I havent worried about beta either.

Summit and Palisade are both great hops, and a nice combo!

Funny, but I just added Palisade to our in stock hops here at atonofhops and got a little extra in the package. I couldn't find them in beersmith so I added them (with the same info Beezer94 posted) so I could do some experimenting myself. Sorry I didn't read the post earlier otherwise I could have helped out.
