My Beer Smith calculated sparge water volume is always way too high.
Just brewed an Imperial Stout - 10 gallon final batch volume with about 2 gallons too much sparge water.
Can I tweek something to get more accurate sparge volume?
46 pounds grain at 1.25 quarts/pound = 14.45 gallons.
BS calculated sparge volume = 6.72 gallons.
Total water volume was then 21.17 gallons.
I needed to collect 15.22 gallons, so easily had about 2 gallons excess wort not going in the kettle.
Thanks,
JJ
