I recently went to a false bottom. I have adjusted the tun deadspace numbers to account for the deadspace in BS... I physically measured this before using the false bottom. so when I create a recipe, just for starters to get a feel for how my numbers would look, I lowered my efficiency by 5%. Even after doing that and ensuring I had the correct number in there for tun deaddpace, all of my batches have been 5 points low OG on smaller beers, and 10 points low on big beers. Even then when I brew big I lower my efficiency a few % more just cause.
I know its not my crush. I know I do not have dough balls. I have been able to hit my numbers with a higher efficiency % before I started using the FB. My boil off rate is dialed in. I do not have a problem hitting my volume numbers going into the kettle and post boil.
So Im confused. when you create a recipe and account for the tun deadspace volume, does the recipe not calculate the expected OG taking this into consideration? what am I missing?
