For good or for bad, I have thrown my chips in with Beer Alchemy. One capability I haven't sorted out yet is how to compensate malt quantities and initial water volumes to accommodate dead space in my setup. I'm a cooler brewer, with a converted stainless steel keg as a brewpot.
I can figure out what my dead space is with fresh water easily enough, but I'd really like to be a bit more confident about adjusting my next grain bill to compensate for it.
Also, I just flat-out don't know if all dead space is cumulative, or is boil kettle dead space weighed differently than MLT dead space?
I think the following pic is where I make the adjustment, but would be damn glad for some advice from a fellow alchemist.
