I'm currently dreaming up a pretty complex Imperial Stout, I've got 10 grains, but only 8 blocks in section C, is there a way around this I'm not seeing besides simplifying the recipe down to 8 grains?
Thanks!

On a craptop today so won't type usual essay. Lucky for you wst!
Firstly, be careful on using too many ingredients. It can often be counter-productive so check yourself on that first.
I've made a tool up for when you have more than eight hops etc but for grain. all you need to do is group some of your similiar grains together. Say you were using three crystals, add them together and put that weight n the left. eg
Crystal A = 25 grams,
Crystal B = 25 grams,
Crystal C = 50 grams,
On left hand side, Enter "Crystal Mix" and 100 grams in the weight column. If right hand side now says 130 grams then you would use 25/100*130=37.5 grams of crystal A etc.
Have fun

Thanks Patch, that helped.
I'm going to go with my 10 grain bill and see what happens, i want this to be complex, we'll see how complex it turns out. It'll be a smaller batch so not much loss if it turns out poorly.
