I've been winging most of my water adjustments for the better part of a year now. My brewhouse setup is 3 1/2bbl kettles each respective to the HLT, mash tun, and boil kettle. I'm getting tired of scratching my head when calculating water profiles since when I need to get it right, I haven't found a way to distinguish the total water volume from HLT and the mash. For a brew I typically fill my HLT with 12.5gal and my mash with however much I need depending on the grist. When brewing a 6gal batch I typically sparge 4.5-5gal of water from my HLT. So this is where it gets tricky: should I only put the mineral additions in the mash and count the sparge as dilution? Or what other way could I calculate the minerals additions I need and where to put them?
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.
