First of all, hello! I brew 2.5 gal batches. Have always steeped speciality grains in 2-3 quarts as it was suggested to keep ph down and reduce tannins. Ok - then I add that thin wort to boil pot making total of 1.25 gal water for my boil. Then add 8 oz dme to add some sugars for the hops. Now this may sound crazy, but I want to do no longer than 30 minute boil! Obviously Having to add more hops this way, it's how I need to do it though. After hops boil I add my LME in pot to sit and pasteurize about 15 minutes then cool, add to fermentor then top to 2.5 gallons with bottled cool spring water, pitch yeast. Please take a look at the screenshot from software I'm trying now with simple stout recipe. Does this look correct on my hops IBU and Potential ABV? That is my main concern. Also note that I listed 2.5 gal in pre boil box rather than my 1.25 gallon on a suggestion, should I change that? Thanks!
Btw... not a new brewer, new to the software. and it's been a while. Electric brew pots? Wow!
