I am still only one batch into BIAB brewing, so trying to dial in water volume. I am using both the calcs here listed below and get different starting volumes.
Brew in a Bag (BIAB) Calculator ~ and
https://pricelessbrewing.github.io/BiabCalc/#Advanced
For this particular batch, the BIAB calc says I need 7.38G of starting water. Using the same input values, Priceless says I need 7.62G of starting water. I have to assume each uses a slightly different algorithm to arrive at the values, but wondering which one tends to be more accurate...or if a different one altogether. I've also tried the BEER-N-BBQ spreadsheet but that one seems very far off for a BIAB batch as compared to the others and doesn't have the malts I'm using.
What do you use for calculating water volume?
