This might be an extremely newbie questions but I think some of us might find this confusing.
Whenever I see batch size....I think of the amount of gallons of beer I siphon into my fermenter (6.28 gallon...normally). When I see final bottling volume.....I think of the beer that has come off the yeast cake and maybe has a little bit of a loss...due to beer being used for some gravity tests, diacetyl test, left in the siphon...etc. Meaning I am left with 5.75 gallons of beer.
There is a little difference between the 2. 0.53 gallon...but still..it is a difference.
BeerSmith software let's me input the batch size...that eventually becomes my final bottling volume on the spreadsheet it prints. Is it me...or some other people also think this is wrong?
