Hi Guys,
Due to space constraints I am trying to get the most out of my gear.
How can I determine mathematically how much the gravity of wort would change by adding pre-boiled water to a post boiled wort?
For example if I had an 80L pot full of mashed wort and after an hour boil there was, for example, 60L left and the gravity read 1.080, and I then added 20L of boiled water, what would the gravity to be?
Is there a formula for the dilution of gravity?
Also, more complex, if I were to sparge in the extra 20L, could I determine what the extra sugars would contribute?
Many thanks in advance,
Danny
