Since switching to all grain I've used BeerSmith and never questioned the amount or temps of the water it tells me to use. I always do a single infusion, batch sparge and light, medium or full body depending on the style of beer that I'm brewing with great results. So I tried something different this time for a Saison that I want to brew. I was going to do a protein rest before my Sacch rest and mash out. It instructs me to add 120.7F water (to reach 113F), which sounds right, but then for my sacch rest it tells me to add water at 198.4F (to reach 148F), then at 198.7F (to reach 158F). Glad this isn't my first attempt at all grain because I wouldn't have caught the mistake and made something undesirable. So what is it in my profile that is giving me these wacky temps?
