So does anyone else batch sparge and notice that the beersmith batch sparge profile doesn't give you water temps for your mashout?
In other words, it merely says: "Add 3 gallons 170F water" for a strike temp of 168. Which, when you add 3 gallons of 170F water for a strike temp of 168 to a 10# grainbill already at a bed temp of 150, you end up with a step up to 155 or so. I generally have to use the infusion tool then add another 10F because most of the calculations I get from Beersmith end up way too low.
I'm sure someone will want to know about my equipment profile..well I believe it's all set up right. I mash in a 10G igloo, and I check the box that says "adjust temps for my equipment".
Any thoughts?
