if it helps I think each pound of grain absorbs .2 gallons of water from the mash.
 
Maybe I'm missing something here, for second runnings, the grain is already saturated, you should simply get your sparge volume back out of the mash tun.
 
damn, ok i was multiplying my grain mass by .2 and putting that in the "grain absorption" block haha. ok. i understand now. just put .2 in the block instead of my other calc. hah. damn.
