I brewed a robust porter this weekend. Everything went well overall except I was about 3/4 of a gallon low on my preboil volume after I was done with my 2nd batch sparge. Ended up sparging a 3rd time to hit my preboil volume target. This was my 5th AG brew and I'm always low on my preboil volume. I use beersmith and upped the mashtun deadspace to 0.5 gallons for this batch. Should i increase it even more? I'm using a 10gallon round cooler with a dome false bottom.
