Hi!
I'm an all grain BIAB brewer, working on a not-so-big pot on my kitchen stove, and sometimes, when I'm brewing an high OG beer, I use to add some malt extract or sugar to the wort, because there's no space for more grains...
I discovered that in this case, BeerSmith 2 makes a mistake when calculating volumes, because they doesn't change at all if I add DME, LME or sugar or nothing! I suppose that adding "something" to the wort, that will dissolve into it, will cause an increase in volume, right?
In fact I've found that in those cases I always end up with a higher batch volume and - of course - a lower OG than expected...
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
Thanks
Corrado
