Hello everybody,
I have a problem regarding the mash and lautering adjustments in the equipment profile in Beersmith version 3.2.7.
I have an equipment similar to the Robobrew/Brew Monk/etc. (30 liter) with deadspace below the false bottom/grain bucket. This volume is 6 liter in total, 4 liter as recoverable liquid and 2 liter below the level of the tap unrecoverable.
So I have to set the recoverable mash deadspace to 4 liter and the mash deadspace losses to 2 liter and tick the box "adjust mash vol for losses"? This sounds at least logic to me.
The biggest problem I have is with the water/grain ratio. Let?s assume I want to aim for a water/grain ratio of 2.8 l/kg, is there any effect of the mash tun deadspace addition? In the Mash Step tap it?s showing me the mash tun deadspace addition of 6 liter. My doubt is that in this case the mash is much more thinner than I wanted, or do I have a misconception here?
In addition I have to mention that I am recirculating the wort with a pump.
Thank you in advance and kind regards (and sorry for using the metric system, but the values are just exempary for the problem).
