Okay, so usually I'm lazy and don't adjust my mash water, but I'm brewing a blonde ale and my local water is too hard for that.
My quick question is on how to use the "Total Water Additions" section in the Water Adjustment tab in Bru'n Water. I want to add 5 gallons total of modified water to my grain for the mash. However, I typically make at least 6 gallons of water for the mash, just to make sure that I have enough properly adjusted water (in case I spill some, lose too much in my hoses, etc). In this case if I want to build my correct profile using RO water with additions, what water volume do I use in the "Mash Volume" section? Do I use the 5 gallon amount that I will actually add to the grain, or 6 gallons of water (since I like to make a little extra)? If I make extra how do I account for this when adding my salts and acid? Will this still get me to the same target pH in the mash? Can I do the same thing if I want to make extra sparge water? I'm confused...
