Hi folks,
I'm trying to set up my equipment profile to match the book "How to Brew" but the resulting calculations don't match his. Here is the example recipe I've entered: http://howtobrew.com/book/section-2/steeping-specialty-grains/example-batch, and here is the equipment profile I've set up:
Boil Vol: 3gal
Boil time: 60mins
Boil Off: .5gal
Loss to Trub/Chiller: .4gal
Top Up Water: 3gal
Batch vol: 5gal
Fermenter loss: .5gal
Bottling vol: 4.5gal
Which for this recipe gives:
OG: 1.040 rather than 1.048
IBU: 51.7 rather than 39
ABV 3.9% - Seems awfully low, doesn't match the style
Any ideas?
Marc
