![]() ![]() ![]() Any reading you do will back up what I am saying here - there is actually heaps to learn so it would not be a waste of time. I could probably answer your BeerSmith volume problem* but it would require a few days of posts with you posting up files and me spending hours writing - I have done it before here, several times and those threads may be worth searching and reading if you are genuinely determined to find the best software. (I'll give you just one example of this below.) And, you will also know why you would actually never want to use BeerSmith 2 or any other program as your brewing software. BIABacus: I know it is uncomfortable to but, if you can forget the $30 you spent on BeerSmith and concentrate on the BIABacus (and possibly ask a few questions - bear in mind, the BIABacus is still in pre-release)) then you are going to save yourself many hours of frustration and confusion. It will take you ages to learn all the traps you can fall into and all the detours you will need to make to get the right figures.Ģ. BIABrewer has written the most comprehensive stuff you will find on setting up BeerSmith 2 equipment - even air-locked stuff on the Beersmith2 site on setting up equipment was written by BIABrewer - and you will still struggle. BeerSmith2: Study all the stuff written on BIABrewer about Beersmith2 starting with the guide written here. You currently have two options and they are.ġ. I didn't have the option of a BIABacus (or even The Calculator) when I started out. I have bought all the major brewing software and studied pretty much everything else out there. Just to give you some comfort, I have been brewing for a long time now and have bought a lot of stuff (some very expensive) that I was told would do something but it doesn't. More choice means better competition so it's a win-win.Blancasterb wrote:I am new to BIAB and had already paid for Beersmith 2 before I found this site so I don't want to not use it. I don't mean to sound like im bagging the software but it's just one guy programming so it is still in it's infancy. It seems like setting the Water/Grain ratio in the equipment profile would let Brewfather calculate the amount of strike water and then also sparge water (I batch sparge). Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but Brewfather seems to suggest I do a no sparge setup, however, it seems to calculate water additions for some amount of sparge.I have yet to figure out if it is changing the target profile or pressing the auto button that makes the sparge acid amount drop to 0 and no matter what I set the sparge water volume to it just stays at 0 With the latest update my sparge water acid additions have started to behave weird sporadically.If I set to more than the amount in the recipe it's fine. ![]() I suspect it's related to using pounds and ounces as units and some rounding issues. Inventory seems to sometimes indicate there is not enough, even when there is.Another minor bug, when I set a yeast starter to 1L, I see 0.26L as the starter volume on the brewing page.Is it possible to use unit grams (g) to calculate water correction (instead of just ml) instead?.Tags is all well and good and very 'modern' but folders are more effective. I also think a folder structure is required for the recipes to better organise them.In the Profiles section, there is no way to delete an equipment profile, or fermentation profile etc.Could you please elaborate on the bugs being reported and also what features are missing or don't integrate?][/QUOTE ![]()
