Hey Guys,
Is anyone able to help me set up my profile in beersmith 2 for a extract set up? Currently i have a 15L pot and i usually do 13L boils, sometimes use specialty grains. My process goes like this
1. Steep any grains at certain temp/length
2. Add half my malt
3. bring to boil and add first hop addition
4. add next hop addition
5. add whirlfloc/yeast nutrient.
6. add last edition
7 cool down to about 28-34'c within in about 30-45 mins
8. strain into fermentor, top up with 4'c water
With the beersmith equipment set up page i find it terribly confusing trying to set it up for extract use, don't really have the time, money or space at current stage for all grain.
I have set it up like this so far from what i have been able to find on the interwebs
* mash tun volume 15L
* Mash tun weight .300g (its a cheap pot)
* Mash tun specific Heat .22
* Lauter displace 0
* Top up kettle 0
* Boil volume 12.80
* Boil time 60m
* Boil off 1.3
* Cooling shrinkage 0
* Loss to trub and chiller 0
* Top up water 7.5L
* Batch volume 19L
* Fermentor Loss 0
Is this set up ok? I want to be able to use this software as it looks so good, i love how it can keep inventory etc
Anyway thanks for any help anyone can send my way.
