Hey Guys,
Quick question, I just bought a dip tube for my mash tun.
I have 1.25gallons of dead space, and previously was using that number as my mash tun deadspace and having beersmith calculating it. Worked ok but my efficiency was terrible (figure I was leaving way to much wort behind)
So I got a dip tube, bent it so its super close to the bottom of the tank...Yay!
Now I have to figure out how to calculate the mash water to reach my desired grist thickness.
So now i have:
Deadspace below scree: 1.25g
Whats left over after draining: 0.15g (2 1/4 cups)
So what should I punch into Brewsmith? .15? and then just manually add in the extra 1.1 gallons for the first mash?
Thanks!
