I always seem to have a problem hitting my OG. My beer tends to finish-up weaker than it should. Up until now I have followed Beersmith to the letter during brew days but I'm now thinking I need to go back to basics to try and help.
Here's where I need your help (my maths is not great!).
I am thinking there must be a calculation one can make which, taking into consideration loss to evaporation and loss to trub, allows me to work out how much sparge water i need to add to the wort after I have emptied the mash tun. I normally check the gravity at this point anyway.
Any help very much appreciated.
THanks
Simon
