I need to do a cereal mash as described in Palmer's "How to Brew", but I'm having trouble putting the steps into BeerSmith.
With 2.5 lbs of corn, I need about 7 qts of water (and a pound of malt).
But then I need to calculate the temperature the remaining mash should be so that when I add the gelatinized cereal to it, it will end up at the saccarification temperature. I can work through the decoction equations backwards to get there, I think, but it would be nice if BeerSmith did this for me.
Has anyone entered a cereal mash profile into BS that I can just copy?
Is there a way to do this at all?
