Hi @Yooper , could you please clarify how "boil size with evaporation rate" changes the original calculation? I actually thought adding the evaporation rate in the equipment profile was calculated this way? When I enable the check box, all or most of my recipes no longer meet the "beer style" due to bitterness and gravity.

How about a toggle for C vs F on the forced carb chart?

I actually thought adding the evaporation rate in the equipment profile was calculated this way? When I enable the check box, all or most of my recipes no longer meet the "beer style" due to bitterness and gravity, e.g. almost all drop a 0.5-0.7 ABV.

We have some brewers who go by batch size, and want it calculated that way, but others want the amount after the boil (due to excessive trub losses or a huge boil off). You'll want to chose the one that best fits your situation and gives you the correct volume/SG/trub losses.
