Hi all,
My question is about water volumes in Beersmith, when temperature expansion is taken into account, and how I go about measuring this.
I understand that Beersmith uses the thermal expansion %, generally 4%, and that the sparge volumes etc have this factored in, I am just confused as to how I should be measuring the volumes.
I use a ruler, and calculate the volume based on the formula of V=πr2H. Is that the correct volume measurement I should be using for my hot water volumes, and presume Beersmith has calculated everything in the background, or should I be somehow factoring thermal expansion as well?
Cheers
