how to calculate dead space

[Galactik]

I am only a few batches into all grain brewing, so I am still dialing in my BeerSmith profiles. I just recently switched from a 5g Rubbermiad cooler with a SS braid to a 10g Rubbermaid with a 9" false bottom.

How to I calculate the dead space in my 10g MLT to plug into BeerSmith?

Add a gallon of water to the MLT, drain it and measure how much comes out. Then you'll know how much water is left in the mash tun
