So I'm 5 batches in and I keep getting too much pre boil volume. I use the calculator and it says to use x amount of gallons of strike and x amount of gallons of sparge water. Every time I get too much in the kettle. Last time it told me to use 6 gallons of sparge water so I used 4 and still got too much. Let's just say I'm entering all of the information into the calculator correctly. My question is.
Which is better to do, stop my 2nd running when I get my desired pre boil vol or put as much in the kettle as possible and only put 5 gallons in the primary.
Also what's a good calculator to use for this?
