I'm doing a partigyle brew so I'm creating a recipe with the common base malts and I'm having an issue with the sparge volume. I'm doing a single step infusion mash with batch sparge.
I have recipe with 19# of grain I get the correct sparge volume when I hit preview brewsheet:
OG 1.043
19# grain
Saccharification 1.25 quarts per gallon
Mash out 2 quarts per gallon.
Sparge with 7 gallons.
This is perfect sparge volume for my partigyle but my OG is too low. I need to increase the grain bill. If I keep the same ratio's for the mash steps, beersmith comes up with a different sparge volume for the increased grain bill. WTF - I kept the same ratios. I would expect the volume of water in the mash steps to increase proportionately
OG 1.057
25# grain
Saccharification 1.25 quarts per gallon
Mash out 2 quarts per gallon.
Sparge with 4.91 gallons.
I am missing something ?
Thanks for the help.
