So let me start by saying as a new member that the BIABacus looks very powerful, great job! I will be using on my next batch. But my question is in regards to how I currently use brewing software for new recipes.
Entering in a known recipe into BIABacus looks very straight forward. However, many times I do not have a recipe and start from scratch. So I start by adding in x amount of grain into the software. The software then shows me what my estimated OG is. I increase said grain until I reach the numbers I want.
With BIABacus, this does not seem to be the case. Am I missing something, or is this not a part of the spreadsheet? I downloaded one of the already filled out copies. I changed the grain amounts but estimated OG numbers do not change.
If not part of the spreadsheet, What do you recipe designers use for calculating estimated OG, besides good old hand calculations or another piece of software?
Basically what I am saying is I rely on software for recipe creation because math is hard...
BIABacus - estimated OG based on grain entered?
