I have had some weird issues with beersmith specifically with gravity estimates. Weird in that my preboil gravity is often either 10 points greater than estimated or 6 points under what is estimated with no rhyme or reason.
Also on a 60 minute boil it is calculating a 10 point increase in gravity where as I normally get 5-7 tops. Evap rate set to 14%.
When I overshoot preboil it ends up balancing out within a point or two of gravity. When I undershoot preboil I am screwed.
Not sure why I am getting these swings or why i can't get consistently accurate predictions.
I should also not I do no sparge. So set up for mash is brew in bag. I leave about 3 liters behind in mashtun and 4 liters in trub loss. Yaya I know terrible efficiency. I can live with that.
Any ideas ?
