proprietary hops in beersmith2
« on: February 17, 2012, 01:08:12 pm »
what's the easiest solution to using ingredients not listed in beersmith?  I've been brewing a lot lately with falconer's flight, but I have to guess on the ingredients when trying to build a recipe.  I typically just add half the amount used as simcoe and half as citra, but I honestly have no idea if this is correct.

there are other ingredients I've used as well (juniper, cardamom, etc) that aren't always listed, but I usually just add those to the notes.  I doubt they're affecting IBU or gravity enough to worry about.

You can add an ingredient yourself manually.

Just click the ingredients tab. go the section you want and click add grain, or add hop.

Use the AA% info on the package of your hops and your golden :)

I wasn't sure if the software was calculating based on other aspects as well, since the package doesing usually list beta-amylase % or anything like that.  if it's just AA%, awesome!  thanks!
