Fermentation Tab
The fermentation tab for a recipe is a central area for detailing your brewing process from the boiler to the fermenter and also show your aging and bottling/kegging options. It also allows you to accurately calculate your overall brewhouse efficiency, carbonation levels and statistics for the finished beer. Note: You must record and enter the measured values (boil volume, original gravity, batch size, final gravity) to get accurate measured calculations. The "Into the Boiler" section shows your estimated and measured boil volume and gravities. The "Into fermenter" shows the estimated and measured batch size and original gravity for the beer. "Brewhouse Efficiency" provides your estimated and measured brewhouse efficiency for all grain brewers. "Fermentation and Storage" gives you a place to track the gravities of your beer as it ferments. The "At bottling/kegging" section provides space for the final gravity of the beer and volume actually bottled or kegged. On the right half of the display the current fermentation and aging profile is displayed (temperature versus time) as well as your preferred carbonation method, carbonation level and how much pressure or sugar needed for carbonation. On the lower half you can enter taste notes and your taste rating (typically the BJCP score if you compete your beer - a value between 1 and 50). On the bottom right is the estimated and actual statistics (alcohol by volume and weight and calories) for your finished beer.

Reports
BeerSmith 2 has the ability to print and preview a diverse set of report formats. The program has a number of basic (text, brewsheet, competition, etc) preloaded with the program and you also have the ability to make custom reports if you desire. Reports are displayed in the preview window typically shown below or to the right of major data views such as the profile, ingredient and recipe folder views. These reports can be printed or previewed using the print and preview commands. You can change the current report format using the drop-down on the title bar of the preview window. Note on Margins and Print Settings: BeerSmith actually uses two different systems for printing. The profile, ingredient and recipe folder views and preview reports, which are typically in HTML or text format are printed using your internet browser. On Windows, BeerSmith uses an Internet Explorer plugin for more flexibility with HTML reports. However, this means many of the settings (margins and headers) are set from Internet explorer rather than within BeerSmith. For dialogs and brewing tools, which are printed directly, you can use the Page Setup dialog (File menu) to set print options. Also currently on the Mac these settings are active as a limited native browser is implemented.

Converting a Recipe
The Convert Recipe button on the ribbon for My Recipes view or any open recipe lets you convert a recipe from all-grain to extract (or partial mash). In fact you can convert between any of the three major types. The conversion process is a fairly complicated operation that does its best to preserve the original recipe's color, bitterness and original gravity. During the conversion, some ingredients may be replaced - especially those needing mashing instead of steeping and the base grain which will be converted to the based extract (or grain) you selected in the dialog. Note: Whenever possible it is best to convert recipes using your own personal equipment profile - this will assure a complete match between the recipe you have imported and your own equipment.
28
BeerSmith 2
Limitations: Some very light colored beers cannot be accurately converted to extract due to the fact that malt extract is generally much darker than comparable pale grain malt. The converter will do the best it can, but in some cases has a hard time converting very light colored beers. Online Articles: Converting All Grain Recipes to Extract
Converting a Recipe
Select the recipe you want to use either by opening it or selecting it from your My Recipes view Select the Convert button on the ribbon Select the type you want to convert to - you can convert it to any type using this tool The best method for converting a recipe is to use your own personal equipment profile - choose it using the equipment profile button at the top of the dialog o Select the base grain to use for the new recipe - this will be the grain that the converter uses as the base malt to make up the bulk of the grain bill in the new recipe. o o o o

Starting with a recipe, you can add all of the ingredients from a recipe to the shopping list using the Add to Cart button from any open recipe. Once you have purchased the ingredients in your shopping list, select them and use the Add to Inventory button to add them to your inventory view. Finally, when you go to brew a recipe you can use the Remove Inv button in any open recipe to remove ingredients found in the recipe from inventory. The three basic steps in this cycle are detailed below:

Styles
The Styles database contains a list of the beer styles to use when building recipes. The style guides are integrated with the Recipe Design Tab so you can choose a target style for your beer and BeerSmith will automatically compare key parameters for your beer against the selected beer style. The default style guide displayed with BeerSmith is "BJCP 2008". This is the standard style guide for US brewers, though some overseas may prefer other guides. New Feature: BeerSmith now has support for extensive descriptions of a style (the text is no longer limited) Important Note!: BeerSmith supports multiple style guides, and by default only the style guides that have their "Style Guide" field set to "BJCP 2008" will be displayed. This can cause confusion if you are trying to add your own styles from the style view. To display another style guide or show all style guides at once you need to set the "Style Guide" option within the Brewing tab of the Options dialog. See Also:Beer Style Articles, The BJCP Web Site, Recipe Design Tab

Equipment Profiles
The Equipment profiles are used to store your personal equipment settings for building recipes. It is very important that you create your own personal equipment profile to match your particular set of brewing equipment and set that as the default for future recipes. New Feature: BeerSmith now has the brewhouse efficiency as part of the equipment profile making it

easier to scale and match recipes based on recipe profiles. Important Note!: Please take a few minutes to create your own equipment profile for your brewing setup. As the equipment profile is used throughout the recipe calculations, an accurate equipment profile is important particularly if you want accurate water calculations when brewing. Also important: If you want to make your new equipment profile the default for all new recipes, use the Brewing tab in the Options dialog after you have created and set your equipment profile. If you edit your profile in the future you may need to update this option to have it saved for future recipes.

o Boil Time - The time that you usually boil the wort - typically 60-90 minutes for an all grain batch or slightly less for an extract batch o Boil Off - An estimate of the water boiled off or evaporated during the boil o Evaporation Rate - Calculated from the boil off - this represents the percentage boiled/evaporated off during the boil o Cooling Shrinkage - Water typically loses about 4% of its volume when cooled from boiling to room temperature o Cooling Loss - Simply the cooling shrinkage expressed as a volume o Losses to Trub/Chiller - The amount of wort lost in the trub or chiller during the transfer from the boiling vessel to the fermenter o Top Up Water - Typically zero for a full boil batch, but many extract brewers do add a few gallons of water at the end of the boil o Batch Volume Into Fermenter - The target batch size as measured into the fermenter - typically a bit over 5 gallons for most home brewers o Fermentation Loss - Losses to trub and transfers during the fermentation process o Bottling Volume - The batch volume minus fermentation losses - represents the volume of beer left to be bottled or kegged
1.9.3
Mash Profiles
A mash profile represents the steps needed for mashing grains during all-grain or partial mash brewing. BeerSmith comes pre-loaded with the most popular mash profiles which you can use in any recipe simply by choosing them. BeerSmith includes commonly used infusion mash profiles, decoction mash profiles, batch sparge profiles and even brew-in-a-bag (BIAB) profiles. Choose a mash profile within any all-grain or partial mash recipe's design tab to use it. You can adjust mash details for a single recipe using the recipe's mash tab. It is rare that you will need to create your own mash profile, but you can do so from this mash profile view as outlined below. Understanding Mash Profiles: The mash profiles most frequently used by homebrewers are those listed as "Single Infusion" mash profiles. These are single step infusion mashes where a measure of hot water is mixed with grains and left for an hour or so to convert the starches in the grains. Double and Triple infusions are used infrequently - and only needed for beers with a high proportion of non-barley base grains. Temperature mashing is used by those who have a mash tun that can be heated - and the burner is used to heat the mixture and maintain its temperature rather than a hot water addition. Decoction mashing is an advanced technique used primarily in certain continental styles. Brew in a Bag (BIAB) is a relatively new method that lets you mash and brew in a single brew pot (see online articles for BIAB below). Most mash profiles have variants for light, medium and full body profiles. The light body profiles mash at a lower temperature resulting in higher enzyme activity and a cleaner lighter overall profile. Full body profiles mash at a higher temperature resulting in less enzymatic activity and more unfermentable sugars in the finished beer - providing a fuller body to the finished beer. Mash profiles also have the option of "Mash Out" or "No Mash Out". A mash-out step is nothing more than an additional step at the end of the mash to raise the temperature of the overall mash to halt enzymatic activity and increase viscosity when lautering. Unless you are working with a very thick mash (i.e. a lot of Wheat), a mash out is generally not required. New Feature: BeerSmith now has support for Brew-In-A-Bag (BIAB) profiles - a technique where the grains are mashed in the boil kettle lined with a grain bag. BIAB profiles generally have a lower grain absorption rate and also have no sparge step since they use the full boil volume in the mash step.

Carbonation Profiles
A carbonation profile represents a method for carbonating your beer. This could include either adding some kind of sugar when bottling, or kegging using CO2 pressure to carbonate, or kegging with sugar (called natural carbonation). BeerSmith comes pre-loaded with a number of carbonation profiles. Within the recipe design tab you can simply choose any existing carbonation profile and BeerSmith will calculate the correct keg pressure or amount of sugar to use for carbonating your beer. In rare cases you might want to add your own carbonation profile, which you can do from this view. See also: How to Keg your Beer, Beer Bottling Tips, Recipe Design Tab

1.9.5
Fermentation Profiles
A fermentation profile represents the steps to use when fermenting and aging your beer. Most brewers use a two stage fermentation though a third stage is common for lagers. BeerSmith comes pre-loaded with many of the most common fermentation and aging profiles for ales, lagers and select specialty beers styles. Using any fermentation profile in a recipe is as simple as choosing it within the recipe design tab. You can customize the fermentation profile to a single recipe within the recipe's fermentation tab. See Also: Recipe Design Tab, Fermentation Tab

o The critical parameters for yeast include the type, form and attenuation - as these are used to estimate the viability of the yeast and also in estimating the final gravity for a recipe. The cells per pack is also important if you use this yeast with the yeast starter tab of yeast starter tool, as it is a measure of the number of cells in a fresh yeast pack. Typically large smack packs and vials from Wyeast or White labs contain a bit over 100 billion cells while small packs contain only 20 billion cells. Large 11.5 gram dry yeast packs contain approximately 200 billion cells and smaller 5.5g dry yeast packets contain about half that amount (100 billion cells).

Note that the mash tun specific heat is generally between 0.2 and 0.5, with all metal mash tuns being on the low end and plastic insulated mash tuns being on the high end of that range. o In the bottom section, enter the temperature of the water you are adding. If you want to lower your mash temperature, use chilled or cold water. Raising the mash temperature is best done with hot or boiling water. o The tool will show you how much water to add to achieve your target temperature as well as the final water to grain ratio.

o Dry yeast does not generally require a starter - instead the appropriate number of dry yeast packs are hydrated about 30 minutes before use o The tool will display the number of packs needed (most homebrew yeast packs are 11 to 11.5 grams each). o It will also show you the volume of warm water needed to hydrate your yeast.

Options
The Options dialog (called Preferences on the Macintosh version) lets you set a wide variety of options used globally in the recipe design process, various brewing tools and also look and feel options for the program. These include basic brewing defaults, the unit system used within the program, advanced constants used within calculations and look and feel options. To open the options/preferences dialog select the Options command on the Tools menu or toolbar (this is called Preferences on the Macintosh version under the BeerSmith2 menu or on the toolbar.

the BeerSmith 2 menu for the Macintosh version). o Enter your the name and brew type for the person who regularly uses this software o If you want to change to another style guide you can do so here, but most brewers will be happy with the current BJCP style guide (currently 2008 version). o Select your equipment profile. If you have not already done so, you should probably create your own equipment profile to match your particular set of brewing equipment. o If you use the competition reports for brewing competition you may want to enter the competition information shown.
Calendar Options
o The calendar options determine which recipes are included on the calendar. o You can choose the folders to display (All folders, My Recipes only or Brew Log only) o You can also hide recipes where you are not the brewer. In this case, only recipes with a Brewer matching the name entered under Brewer at the top of this brewing options dialog will be displayed.
1.16.2 Units
The Units Options page lets you set the default units that are used by BeerSmith for displaying recipes and performing calculations. BeerSmith supports English, Metric and Imperial units and also lets you set a precision for each item (digits beyond the decimal point) and an increment for each to use when incrementing amounts. Note that in addition to the default units, BeerSmith also supports Automatic Unit Conversion in any field. Mac Note: On the Macintosh version of BeerSmith, the options dialog is listed as Preferences under the BeerSmith2 menu and toolbar rather than options
1.16.3 Bitterness
The Bitterness Options are used internally to estimate bitterness levels (IBUs) within the recipe design tab as well as the bitterness tool. Setting the options here will change the calculation for all recipes displayed on this computer.

New Change: The default leaf, plug and pellet hop adjustments have changed from version 1.X of BeerSmith. Most hop estimation formulas were developed using leaf hops, so version 2.0 uses leaf hops as the baseline (zero adjustment) and mak es a slight positive adjustment for plug and pellet hops. This will result in a slight difference between V1.X and V2.0 calculations, but the V2.0 calculations should be more accurate for pellet and plug hops.
1.16.4 Refractometer
The refractometer options are for use when calibrating a refractometer, primarily for using it with the Refractometer Tool. Calibrating your refractometer is an important step, as by default most refractometers are calibrated to be used with sucrose (table sugar) rather than measuring wort and beer. If this is your first time using a refractometer, I strongly suggest you read my article on refractometer use .

1.16.6 Advanced
The advanced settings give you an opportunity to set a variety of internal constants used throughout BeerSmith (both in recipes and in tools) to perform calculations. New Feature: The adjustment of all major constants and final gravity based on mash temperature is new. WARNING: This feature is for advanced users only - changing these constants can significantly throw off internal calculations if misused. The default values for the options are shown in parenthesis next to each value.

percentage (10-15%) of steeped grains end up in the wort after steeping. o BeerSmith has a new feature in the recipe designer that allows the mash temperature to be used to adjust the estimated final gravity. Beers with a low mash temperature tend to have higher attenuation during fermentation and lower starting gravity. The relationship in BeerSmith is linear, adjusting by a small percentage per degree of mash temperature off the center value. Here you can enter the slope and center temperature for adjusting based on mash temperature. The default values are an average of values from various sources. o Finally the brew log name can be adjusted - if you prefer another name instead of the default value.

template. For example within a recipe $NAME will be replaced with the name of the recipe, $STYLE_NAME the name of the beer style selected, etc... HTML templates work exactly the same way - including $NAME will display the name of the recipe within an HTML recipe template. BeerSmith supports the names listed in the BeerXML standard - all with a dollar sign in front of them. See the BeerXML standard for an extensive listing of variables available (see below for more tags). Once you have a template created, save it to the Documents/BeerSmith2/Reports directory and then you can install it using the instructions below.

conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program. "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program. "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program. "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement. "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors. 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form. b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder. c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program. d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement. 3. REQUIREMENTS A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that: a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
2013 BeerSmith LLC

75
b) its license agreement: i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose; ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits; iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. When the Program is made available in source code form: a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program. Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense. For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes
2013 BeerSmith LLC
76
BeerSmith 2
performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages. 5. NO WARRANTY EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations. 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 7. GENERAL If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material

77
terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
