I just got a Grainfather and am planning on brewing a stout recipe that I have and I downloaded the Grainfather Equipment Profile Add-on and all is good but I am getting conflicting Mash and Sparge Water calculations.
The Grainfather manual has two calculations, one for Mash Water and one for Sparge water and it based on the size of the grain bill. If I use the Grainfather calculations, I end up with 22.30 litres of Mash Water and 11.27 of sparge water. After entering the recipe into Beersmith, it is saying that I should use 25.16 litres of Mash water and 16.81 litres of Sparge water. It is a significant difference if I'm calculating right, I won't even be able to get all of the sparge water into the Grainfather as the capacity is 30litres so I think there may be something wrong with the Equipment profile but I think everything looks OK.
I have attached the recipe and was hoping someone could help me out with this and offer some suggestions.
TIA.
