Twice since I purchased this software I have done step mashes and had the following problem with the most recent as the example.
With 10.5 lbs of grain and a mash in of 2.9 gallons of water at 162° to reach a step temp of 144°. This was achieved exactly. This step at 144° was left for 30 minutes with only 1° of loss.
The next step was Saccrification at 154°. The step water was 1 gallon and the program said add this at 190° to reach the 154°. Not even close. I added 1/2 gallon at boiling and still didn't get over 151°. I finally decocted about 1/3 of the grain and boiled it. I then hit 154°.
The earlier time I did a step mash the same thing happened. Am I missing something here?
