I'm trying to figure out whether to use beer smith or the grainfather brewing calculator for figuring out mash water (vol & temp) and sparge water (vol & temp). There is a bit of a discrepancy.
This is going to be metric, sorry...
For my recipe, which has a 6.05 kg grain bill for a 22Liter batch (60 min mash - 10 min mash out- and 90 min boil):
Brewsmith calculates, Mash water-22.7 L of water at 68C, and sparge water 19.51L at 75.6C
Where as the grainfather brewing calculator says: Mash water 19.5L (no temp given, but most grainfather recipes are 68C) and Sparge water 13.5L (again, no temp given, but usually 75).
Which calculation should I use?? Does one of the calculations look way off? any advice would be much appreciated!
