I've been using BeerSmith for a couple of years now and I've got my process pretty much dialed in now so my gravities (OG and FG) are pretty consistent with its estimates. I'm almost always within a point on both. Except when I use lactose. I enter the amount and check off the "not fermentable" box and it predictably bumps the FG estimate up a bit. However, every brew I have done with lactose ends up with the FG 3-4 points higher than predicted. Anyone have any ideas what this is about? Just a software algorithm thing or am I doing something wrong?
