my Batch size would be 5 gallon  All Grain, and 72% efficiency.  would my local Homebrew USA have most of the grains?  and which yeast should i use with it.

Which yeast? They say Augustiner, which is said to be WLP-860 which is a seasonal strain. It may be out soon.

Why would you want to use your tool for that?
It comes in pints? I'm getting one!

ok the software is Beersmith.  when I put in my numbers for percentages for the grain bill, it gives me this:

1.52# of Vienna Malt
1.52# of Pilsner
.48# of Amber Malt
and .48# of Munich Dark

seems light for the grain bill  I am doing a 5gal batch

Once you have your percentages correct, use the "adjust gravity" button to change to your target gravity and you will see your grain bill increase
