Brewed a California Common yesterday, as per usual I just followed the mash steps from Beersmith. This has always worked out well for me after some initial setup to get my equipment volumes and boil-off right.
Well, it seems I found a quirk in Beersmith. I was doing so many 90 many boils that I set my equipment to 90 minute boils (and forgot I had done so). Well, as it turns out, if your equipment is set to 90 minutes, the recipe will give you the water quantity for 90 minutes even if the recipe is set to 60. So I overshot my volume, by a lot. Oops.
On the plus side, I had tightened down my crush for this batch and still got 1.052 when I was expecting 1.053 for a smaller volume. So things should still turn out OK.
