I see. It just seems that there is so many variables in HB'ing that there is no way to really have a way to maintain a high level of consistency or repeatability when working on one recipe. The volume issue is something im still trying to understand. You are mashing and sparging and end up with say 6 gallons of wort and after boiling for 60 minutes and the recipe is for 5 gallons. using x-oz of hops for 5 gallons and x-oz of spices for 5 gallons with the same boil time with 6 gallons as you do for 5 gallons. You have an extra gallon of wort. To me it almost seems like baking a cake with and an extra cup of milk and an extra egg. Almost like diluting your hops.
