Uncommon Equipment Setup and Beersmith 2
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 12:08 am
I use Beersmith 2 to design my beers but my equipment setup is a little strange and I'm unsure of how to apply my settings.
I use a 2 gallon cooler as a mash tun, and I have a sparge system made from tubing, an oak plank, and a wort aerator hose attachment. I boil ~5 gallons of wort in a ~7 gallon kettle and I have a temperature controller for fermentation. All my beers are bottle conditioned and all are partial mash recipes. I also always make a 1 qt yeast starter with 1/2 lb light DME, 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient, and 1 vial of White Labs yeast (for consistency and predictability).
I mostly just need help setting up my Beersmith 2 profile so I can accurately design my beers. I've noticed that my water volumes are all messed up and the yeast starter tab is funky.
