Failure of beersmith3!

It's a default value for alcohol tolerance. You can menu into Ingredients/yeast, double click on the yeast in question and change the tolerance setting. More of a safety valve for the average homebrewer than a fail.
 
Look at your yeast choice.  BeerSmith uses the published upper limit of the yeast strain as the maximum ABV the beer will be able to reach.  You can get around this in the software by increasing the upper limit of the yeast.  In real life, you may be able to push the ABV limits the companies publish by pitching a good amount of healthy yeast and promoting good fermentation temperatures.  This was done by request of many users.
 
Didn't realize that Brad had done this. Thanks for the heads up.
