New to BF, and just wondering how using the starter checkbox affects the recipe calculations. I am using a starter, and check the box, but it doesn't have a place to enter starter size, and doesn't seem to change anything about the OG, etc.
Related question is: does it or should it affect anything related to the fermenter volume or water calculations? If I am using a 2L starter, that is a little more than 1/2 gallon and so adds 10% to my fermenter volume for a 5G batch. Seems like there may be at least a small effect on OG, and maybe FG-related calculations.
Basically, just not sure how that checkbox works and what effect I should see from using it.
Thanks!
