It should have most of what you need for Beersmith. Here's a link to my equipment profile in Brewer's Friend. Just move roughly a gallon from the sparge to the mash and you should be good. Your options are to average/adjust the mash thickness by including that dead space volume into the total volume of water per lb of grain (highly variable depending on grain bill), or set your lauter dead space to zero and when it comes time to run the mash calculation, it should add that dead space volume to the sparge water. This is why you can't get these to work exactly. If you use these numbers as lauter dead space in your equipment profiles, when it comes time to sparge, it will add that dead space volume again to your sparge water to replace the volume lost. The Grainfather's own calculations have you add water based on your grain weight to get the proper mash thickness (1.3qts/lb if I remember correctly) and then add enough water to cover the dead space (3.5l/.92gal).
The biggest issue that comes from using any software (Beersmith/Brewer's Friend/Brew Target/Brewtoad) with the Grainfather is using them to calculate mash and sparge water applications.
