I followed the brewsheet steps from beersmith to the letter. I hit my temps. I Used the amount of water specified and my volumes were spot on with the brewsheet at each step.
I had 6.5 gallons preboil and had 5 gallons post boil. I transfered the wort to the fermenter stopping when the trub started to transfer. I wound up with 4 gallons in the fermenter.
How should I adjust for this loss? I could add 1 gal to the equipment dead space but would I need to add more grain or dme to correct the gravity?
This was my recipe. Sort of a Cream Ale.
4 lbs 6 row
1 lbs 2 row
.5 lbs Carapils
2 lbs flaked Corn
1 lb Flaked Rice
1 lb extra light DME
1 oz Cascade at 50 min
.5 oz Sterling at 10 min
