I have a Kal-clone Electric Brewery setup.
I set my Lauter Tun Deadspace value to 3.75L because I want Beersmith to calculate my strike water with the additional water needed for the space under the false bottom and in the HERMS coil. However, when it comes time to sparge, my dip tube picks up the majority of the wort that's under the false bottom, so my deadspace is actually closer to 1L, maybe even a bit less. This means that Beersmith is adding extra water to my sparge because it thinks that I have 3.75L of deadspace.
Is there a way to separate Mash tun deadspace from Lauter tun deadspace?
Thanks!
