Hi All,
For most of my brews I have 5.5 gallons at the end of boil reaching the fermentor. I have this volume (5.5gal) set in my personal equipment profile as both batch and bottling volume because I rarely lose much.
However there are time I want to create a brew where I have a more than 5.5.gal at the end of boil so I could add lots of hops to the boil or in dry hop and still have 5 gallons reaching the the corny.
My question is, where do I have to adjust this volume. (1) Do I have to set a new equipment profile for this batch size? (2) Modify my existing equipment profile to the batch volume I desire before I design the recipe? (3) Or can I simply use the existing equipment profile and change the batch size on the design tab (recipe)?
I ask because when I do the later, choice 3, I don;t seem to hit the same gravities BS2 suggests. Whereas if I brew the smaller batch my gravities seem perfect.
I hope this makes sense enough that some of you can take a shot at it.
Prost.
