This is from the Brew steps:
Saccharification Add 33.00 qt of water at 162.8 F 156.0 F 60 min
Mash Out Heat to 168.0 F over 7 min 168.0 F 10 min
◯ If steeping, remove grains, and prepare to boil wort
◯ Add water to achieve boil volume of 7.41 gal
◯ Estimated pre-boil gravity is 1.046 SG
I am doing a BIAB brew. I understand from the above information i should add 33 qt of water, bring water temperature up to 162.8F add my grains in. I will get to 156F and cover for 60 minutes.
Then heat the pot to 168F , turn off pot for 7 minutes and remove grains. Place on colander and let drip and wring or press rest out. At same time i can bring pot up to boiling and continue as I would for a normal batch.
My question is, if I have my equipment profile set up right, I should not need to add any more water. RIGHT? Why does the Brew Steps tell me to add till I get to the 7.41 gals?
