Seemed to fix it mate.

Is that the initial temp of the Mash tun before douh in ?? i would think 25 would be more likley ?? or dosent it matter.

Cheers anyway man.

Another one for you guys. when im keying in recipies found on here allot of the grains listed arnt in BS. Do you guys just add the grain 1st using all the info you can find on it then create the recipie with the newly added grain ??

Thanks again guys.

Don't know if I would set it to 70 :lol:

Basically this is the temp of your mashtun prior to adding strike water. In the equipment settings for your brewing equipment there is a way to allow for heat absorbtion of your mashtun by selecting the type of material it is constructed from, thus setting the specific heat loss for a particular material. The temperature of your strike water is then calculated by Beersmith using this setting and the ambient temp (if you have the Adjust For Equipment box ticked in the Mash Profile group on your recipe) that you have set for the temp of your tun on brewday.


Cheers,

Screwy
