yeah! I agree - what the fire truck does that mean?Parks said:I like the bit where you fly sparge with negative 3.79L of water :blink:
I used the settings from the "stainless steel keg" that was in there as a default.Tex083 said:+ 7.5L boil off? Either that's a wide shallow pot or not correct, have you actually measured this? Mine is 3.5L/hr I'm using an electric element in a keggle. Loss to grain sounds a bit high too, I know the base setting is a bit low but try 1.1-1.3 I recently listened to a Beersmith podcast Brad said do 5 brews before you change anything, then change 1 parameter at a time. Beersmith is good bit takes a bit of tuning.
cheers mate that woudl be greatSimoB said:I think there stainless steal kegs are 58 lt - can send you my profile for a 50L keg set up (when i get home)
To me it seems you may have something wrong with the mash profile. :-/ you would probably only need 20 lts for that grain bill.
Sorry I was on the phone before and couldnt access Beersmith, I will have a look at my settings now and post them up.
Ok the default setting for a SS keg in Beersmith is 37.85L Batch, 50.88L Boil and 35.02L into the fermenter
If I put the same malt bill into my Beersmith I get a Mash in vol of 19.3L and sparge of 30L - which sounds a little high but puts you up to 50L
If I change the equipment back to my HERMS I get A mash in vol of 16.6 and sparge of 23.8 giving an OG of 1.054 (I use 80% eff. BIAB gets slightly less)
Can you take a photo of the equipment setup page on beersmith and we should be able to nut it out.
