I recently acquired a Grainfather G30. Researching how to brew on this, I found that many people will use BeerSmith for creating their recipe but then they transfer it to the Grainfather app so that water volumes work out correctly.
Digging into this, I found that their app uses a 0.765 fl oz/oz of grain ratio which is roughly in the middle of what BeerSmith uses for BIAB and everything else.
I'd like to change the ratio to match GF but I don't want to do that for everything else. Is there a way to make this happen? Either being able to set this for a given equipment profile or even a 3rd "custom absorption rate" for use with different mashing profiles could work. Similar to what I can see for the BIAB -vs- RIMS/HERMS profiles.
The Grainfather should use a RIMS/HERMS mash profile or a Hybrid of that and BIAB since there is a sparge step. The BIAB profile uses no sparge where the mash is done with the full boil volume. I’d like to use BeerSmith with the Grainfather system and have it give me proper water volumes based on the way you brew with it.
