So, this may be a dumb question, but I am getting larger than expected volumes calculated by brew pal. Maybe I am not understanding something related to process, but please straighten me out....
Trying to trouble shoot the issue here:

When I add all the grain bill (with the 1lb pad)
Pre Boil 1.046 ---> Post Boil 1.056 ----> Final 1.015
* default 75% efficiency is used.
OK down to the question:
When I flip to the mash tab, it lists strike to be 6qts @ 163 (seems reasonable), but sparge volume to be 5.2 gallons. It also lists the volume to be 6.71 gallons. I may be missing something, but am not sure how this works with a 5 gal batch. It would take a while to boil out 1.5 gallons.
Am I crazy or just not understanding something?
