When building a 5 gallon recipe (or 10 gallon), do you upsize the target size to account for loss?
Do you target 5.25 gallons as the batch size to get somewhere near 5 gallons in the fermenter?
I've been sizing my recipes for 5.25 gallons and typically use a 1500 to 1800 ML starter.
I am curious what others are doing.
When puchasing kits, the batch is always 5 gallons, no more. This means less into the fermenter due to loss.
What do you do?
