Hey guys. I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I'm having some trouble with the BeerSmith calculation of the total sparge water. I added my equipment, made my own mash profile, and I'm pretty sure I made all the proper calculations and didn't miss anything.
I'm attaching a printscreen for a better analysis:
I changed for metric units becouse I'm from Brazil.
As you can see, BeerSmith is telling me to add 17,73L of water in the first mash step, and then use 17,64L of sparge water.
The Est Pre-Boil Vol = 27,31L. And here is the weird part.
17,73 + 17,64 = 35,37
35,37 - 27,31 = 8,06
Is BeerSmith assuming that I will somehow lose 8L of water from nowhere, just during the mash?
The deadspace is already included in the first 17,73L, and I'm almost sure I will NOT lose this quantity of 8L of water.
Where is it my mistake?
Thanks!
