Hi fellow brewers!
I am a great fan of Beersmith and I use it for all my all grain brewing, but there is one thing i can´t figure out.
Hopefully you can help me.
My brew setup gives me a 3 liter loss to trub before transferring my wort to the fermenter after cooling.
If I enter my recipe with a 28 liter batch and 75% brewhouse efficiency I get a different result regarding OG and bitterness as apposed to entering my recipe with 25 liter batch and 3 liters loss to trub (keeping brewhouse efficiancy at 75%). The mash efficiency in the latter setup increases to 84%.
My boiling volume is the same with both setups and my logic tells me that the amount of wort in the boiler should also be the same (28 liters) and hence the OG and bitterness should also be the same(?).
Where is my logic wrong? Any one got the answer for this?
