Long story - short, I have been using an excel spreadsheet that I designed myself...mainly for kicks, but I think I messed up some calculations somewhere along the line and I want to verify whether I am crazy or not. I need someone with Beersmith experience to plug in my recipe and equipment info and see what numbers you get. I am focusing mainly on Estimated Pre-Boil Gravity and Estimated O.G.
Equipment info: I do 1.38 Gallon BIAB batches at the moment.
3 Gallon Aluminum kettle/mash
Boil-off rate: 1 Gal/hr
Kettle Loss: .08 Gal.
Loss to Fermenter: .12 Gal.
Boil Time: 60 min.
Mash Time: 60 min.
Recipe:
-------GRAIN--------
1.5 lbs. - 2-Row (Breiss)
.75 lbs. - Flaked Corn
.25 lbs. - Flaked Barley
.25 lbs. - Wheat Malt
-------HOPS--------
.38 Oz. - Cascade @ 60
.13 Oz. - Cascade @ 5
.38 Oz. - Citra @ 150 degree Whirlpool
Mash Temp: 152
-------PROCESS--------
Mash in with full volume of 2.5G for 60 mins.
No bag squeeze = @ 2.3G to kettle
Bring to boil add 60 min hops and start timer.
Follow hop schedule
Yadda-Yadda-Yadda.
If I missed anything that you need to plug it into Beersmith to get the most accurate numbers you can, just let me know and I will provide them.
As of right now, my pre-boil gravity came in at 1.032. Depending on where I plug the information in, I get varying efficiency numbers. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
