Wanted to ferment a 2 gallon batch of ipa so I used the scale, to convert to a 2 gallon batch. all seems good with the number including the mash water volume. but then has me adding too much spare water and a pre-boil volume of 4.2 gallons. I think I loose about a gallon here. so I would up with just about 3 gallons in the fermenter and a weak 1.040 gravity from a 1.058 expected.
I checked some other recipes and it appears that other full recipes also are estimating too much water to sparge. I should have thought that over but just followed the brew steps in a rush.
