Maybe this is a BeerSmith question, but I figured I'd toss it out here and see if anyone found a way to get these numbers closer - I hate having to use multiple tools. Youll see a Add xxxx button underneath. However, BS2 knows how big the GF's capacity is (set at 29.9L in the included addon), so one would think it should be able to include that as part of the calculation. If you do need to add them by hand, on the top menu bar go to Ingredients then select the category you wish to add. The GF numbers add up to much smaller total volumes than the BeerSmith numbers do, so perhaps that's the source of the problem. What I haven't been able to get is the difference between the Grainfather sparge calculator and the BeerSmith sparge calculator. Ive recently decided that I dont want to go that route and would like to reload everything back to factory settings. This is a simple addon that you can install into Beersmith, which includes all the Black Rock products as ingredients. One of the first things i did was basically wipe the slate clean and just input the ingredients i use with numbers from the manufactures. For myself, I was able to follow some recommendations (like setting deadspace to 0) to get very close between predicted and actual. Im in the process of developing a Beersmith addon for the Black Rock product range. I also have seen several profiles floating around with varying levels of accuracy.

The timer and the temp change for hydro samples works really well in the program.I know that BeerSmith2 has a Grainfather equipment profile plugin. Am I going crazy, or is this an issue for others as well. It's not even listed on the Thomas Fawcett website. I was trying to do a manual add, but I can't find all the specs. I plugged in the 'thomas fawcett 14 grains' add on and it's not there. If you are willing to accept that no program will brew the beer for you, and enjoy the process, then BS I think make it easier than guessing, and gets you started right. I can't seem to add this grain into beersmith. I use that to go back to 're-brew' from, and input another version into BS to get a better idea of what I did.

Has the date, the OG I got, and all the numbers I hit that day with times and whatnot. The rest of the details, like me missing my mash temp and doing it 2 degree's higher, the fact that I changed something on the fly, all go into my brew notebook, with the print out of the BS recipe I did. I'll be continually tweaking BS to my system, and it's fun actually. It's saved in there now, and not to mention, AA units can change from year's crop to another, so thats not always set in stone if you want to be accurate. For example, I made my first recipe from scratch, made it in BS, and had it all calculated, played with it to get the IBU's I think I wanted to semi balance it all out, and then had to input the AA's for the Falconers Flight 7C's I wanted to use.
