So, I've been playing around with the new version and I've run into a problem.
I'm doing a 5 gallon ordinary bitter recipe with a batch sparge mash option Anyway, it has me mash in with 8.75 quarts of water for 7 pounds of grain. Then comes the problem. It has me batch sparge in 5 steps. 5.65 gallons, and then four consecutive additions of 1.13 gallons each. That totals 12.3575 gallons of water!! And in the recipe, it says that i need 10.84 gallons. What gives? It just seems like a lot of water for a bitter recipe.
Oh, and my preboil volume is supposed to be 7 gallons and finish at 5 gallons after a 60 minute boil.
I just want it to show me how much water i need for my sparge in one total step....ughhhh
