I am having issues understanding parts of Beersmith.
I use a 3 keg all-grain system. I have my equipment set up in Beersmith with 70% brewhouse efficiency, a boil volume of 12.5 gallons, and a 10 gallon batch volume. I added the same exact equipment profile again, but upped the boil volume to 16 gallons.
I set up a recipe for each equipment profile above. To keep it simple each recipe only uses 35 lbs of Briess 2-row each. Beersmith predicts the OG will be the same for both batches, even though one batch collects more wort from the sparge and concentrates it into the same final volume. Beersmith shows the Measured Mash Eff. go from 48.2% to 61.7%. How does the OG not go up? I must be missing something here.
