So I use Beersmith to make my recipes. I have a converted keg for a boil kettle. So my question is let's say your brewing a 5 gallon batch. So you boil kettle has .50 gallons of deadspace so you make up for this deadspace in your recipe. So technically when your boil is done you technically have 5.5 left in your boil kettle cause of deadspace. So can having this much deadspace effect your gravity since technically you didn't boil down to 5 gallons?
