Hey Gang,

I am about to brew a second batch of a Golden Strong Ale . My first batch was based on a recipe entered into BIABacus PR1.3T, and the second batch will be the same recipe but entered into PR1.3U. However, I am seeing a discrepancy between the 2 versions for the final gravity (as well as the predicted ABV). For PR1.3T, FG is 1.012 (7.8% ABV) while PR1.3U shows 1.018 (7.0% ABV). There is not much in terms of fermentables: 78.6% pils malt and 21.4% cane sugar -- for both versions, Section Y has been set for the cane sugar to FGDB = 100% and MC = 0%.

I've double checked all my entries into PR1.3U and they seem fine. Any ideas what might be causing the difference in FG?

Thanks,

Steve

Are the attenuation values the same in Section H?

Dang, you're smart, MS! I have it set to 84% in T and the default 75% in U Thanks!

Now I have to remember where the 84% came from -- the recipe is from BCS so I'll need reread the previous discussions on using it with the BIABacus.
