So i was thinking about water additions today.
currently i add the salts to the MLT for the the mash water, and then i add teh salts to the BK for the Sparge water (per Brewstrong podcast)
let me illustrate with an example.
= I mash in with 3 gallons of water, i add 3 grams to the MLT.
= Then i mash out
=Add six gallons of sparge water (this is just an example)
= I empty the sparge water in the boil kettle
At this point I have 6 gallons total in the BK, and 3 gallons remaining in the MLT, trapped in the grain.
3 of the gallons in the boil kettle were treated in the mash.
what volume should i use to add salts for the sparge water?
1) treat the additional three gallons of sparge water that made it too teh kettle
2) treat the boil kettle as if all 6 gallons of sparge water made it into the kettle
I am about to brew, so any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
