Hi,
I'm new in brewing so I'm little confused about amount of water loss to mash tun.
All recipes give amount of water for mash in and amount for sparging water, but some amount of water will be sucked by the malt. So my question is do the amount of water given in the recipe is equal to the amount of the wort which will be collected at the end (Loss to Mash Tun will be substituted) or amount of the water is fixed and Loss to Mash Tun is part of the amount of water in the recipe (and it should be sucked by the wort).

Here is the link to Castle Malting (maltinghous) at the end of their brochure a recipes are given for 100 litre of water (70 L for mash in and 30 L for sparging). How much wort will be collected according to this recipe?
