Being new to Beersmith2, perhaps someone more experienced can answer this.
I set BS2 to Batch size 2.75 Gal, Tot efficiency 80%
I wanted to create an AG batch with an OG 1.054 (Plato 13.5).
The BS2 printout showed Est OG 13.507 Plato.
Everything fine so far. But after mashing my preboil gravity was 1.051 (Plato 13.0) and
a 60 min post boil gravity to the fermenter was 1.060 (Plato 16.0), way over my planned target of 13.5 Plato..
Instead of an ABV of around 5.1 or so I'm thinking I will end up closer to 6%...
Am I missing a setting in BS2, should I adjust malts letting BS2 reflect a lower estimated OG, or?? I hesitate to add additional water to the fermenter..
Also, on a side question, even though my equipment profile is set to small batch 2.72 Gal, the data on my design screen (lower right) continues to show batch size 18.93 gal, efficiency 460.4%. I can't figure where this is coming from....
