I was at NG on Lacewood this afternoon, and the guy working there was really pushing Beersmith. I tried to find out from him whether it would calculate hop utilization around late extract additions, which is something that Beer Calculus won't do, but which would be handy to me. He seemed fairly knowledgeable, but didn't know the answer. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Yes it does but be warned, I'm not sure anybody has those figured out for sure. I think there is some trial and error there, but Beersmith does have a good starting point.

im not sure, maybe there is some way, but BS2's handling of extract has always annoyed me. I never add my extract until the last 15 minutes, but I want to know pre-boil gravity, so i always have 2 copies of any recipe that needs extract.

if someone does know how to set it up with late extract additions it would be great

Whoops, I missed the extract bit. Thought you just meant hop additions. Ignore my post.

there's a check box for "add after boil" or something.

Sent from the brew timer.

Thanks everyone. I saw the "add after boil" check box, and thought it was for post boil hop additions. I just downloaded the demo and gave it a try. It seems to work! When I ticked off the "add after boil" box for the base malts in one recipe the IBUs went from 39 to 59. Accuracy could be another story, but at least it is compensating.

I guess now I have to buy a copy...

Thats what I did. I used it free till it came due. It is amazing for all grain and even with BIAB.
