i've entered my dunkelweizen recipe into beersmith to the best of my ability. with my keggle and 48qt mash tun, the software has my boil volume estimated at 6.63gal. for the mash, however, it is telling me this:
Mash Ingredients
Step: Add 12.66 qt of water at 167.8 F
60 min - Hold mash at 152.0 F for 60 min
-- Drain Mash Tun
-- Batch Sparge Round 1: Sparge with 4.88 gal of 168.0 F water.
-- Add water to achieve boil volume of 6.63 gal
-- Estimated Pre-boil Gravity is: 1.054 SG with all grains/extracts added
with a grain absorption rate of .125gal/lb, a MLT deadspace of 1qt, and a 4.88gal sparge, this would put me at 7.4gal pre-boil volume instead of 6.63, right?
is there something i'm not accounting for, or something i'm doing wrong?
i am assuming that there is no grain absorption or dead space loss with the sparge. should i just ignore beersmith and figure it manually by adding 1.25qt/lb for mash in and then just add the difference for the sparge?
