Hi,
I would like to know the differents ways to calculate the volume of the wort in your pot after grain absorbtion and/or after boiling.
Example, let's say I want to BIAB a batch and should target a 7.4 gal Pre-boil volume.
I estimate the grain absorbsion to be (example) 1.1 gal overall. So I'm starting with 8.5 strike volume for the mash. How do you determine if you really have 7.4 gal of wort in your pot before starting the boil (after the mash)?
I'm thinking of marking a stirring spoon on every 0.5 gal, it will give me a rough idea of the volume of the wort in the pot ? Is there a better way to do it ?
Thank you.
