Question on mash and sparge water amounts. Currently I'm using a 5 gallon cooler for MLT and HLT but I do have a 10 gallon cooler ready to be used for a MLT. When I change the equipment on beer smith to a 10 gallon cooler and the batch size to 5 gallons my mash and sparge water amounts change. Below is the amount for Dead Ringer IPA
5 gallon MLT
Mash water - 15qt
Sparge water - 4.46gal
Pre-boil volume - 6.52
10 gallon MLT
Mash water - 18.20qt
Sparge water - 5.06 gal
Pre-boil volume - 7.37
So my question is which amounts do I go by? Even though I'm using a 10 gallon cooler should I still use the 5 gallon cooler amounts?
