Single Infusion, medium body, batch sparge: at least I have that part right :)
I've chosen the pot and cooler (10Gal / 37.8L) which seems about right.
I've just this second set up my equipment in Beersmith using a handy YouTube video
Thanks for the hint!! :)

Yeah, once you have your equipment profile set up, it's a relatively simple matter of telling BeerSmith your target batch size, and the Brew Steps view will get you most of the way there.

Thanks Toby
I'm getting closer to understanding what I'm doing with Beersmith.
I purchased the app and didn't read the instructions :)

IIRC, Beersmith gives you FG estimates.  You should ifnore that' especially worh this beer.  It should finish in the 1.026-28 range, higher than most people expect.
Life begins at 60.....1.060, that is!
