Hey there, first time caller. Just picked up a Bayou Classic 10gal for the first foray into all-grain and stoked as all get out. I'd like to be thorough with data collection right off the bat, so we can adjust recipes moving forward and get a handle on our process and system. Anyone have a Beersmith 2 Equipment Profile already set up for a 10gal Bayou Classic set with false bottom and spigot (https://www.amazon.com/Bayou-Classic-800-410-10-gal-Stainless/dp/B009SKU4PE), preferably with a few batches under their belt with it? I've got mine mostly set up, but I'd love to see a reference for it.
For reference, I plan to use this as mash tun and kettle, so I can have control over the heating and eventually be able to work on a multi-rest mash with it. So the plan is to mash in this with mashes under 10gal (for a batch size of 5gal), vorlauf and mash out. Then sparge into another vessel, give her a quick wash, and then turn it around to be the boil kettle as well. Eventually we'll probably add another vessel, but for now I think I can manage it with just this.
Any tips on getting the data right in Beersmith would be much appreciated, and any other tips on this kind of process would be too!
