I am wondering what you smart people do about snagging recipes from a magazine and scaling to your system in BeerSmith.
I have a 10 gallon HERMS with keggles for all three kettles. I have an equipment profile created in BeerSmith which works well and gives me accurate results.
When I spot a recipe in BYO, I typically enter it into BeerSmith doubling the ingredients. Then I use the sliders to adjust the SG, SRM, IBU back to what the recipe states.
Brad Smith talks about the ease of scaling for an equipment profile, but that presumes the recipe entered is based on a different profile than what you are using.
Would it make sense to create a "BYO" profile with the batch size and efficiency stated in the magazine the simply use BeerSmith to scale the recipe to my system by selecting my profile from the scaling dialog box? Or am I already doing this in the most efficient way?
