Hi!
I'm trying to set up a mash profile for batch sparging. I'd like it to be a two-step profile, the first step being the actual mash and the second being the mashout/sparge. The aim is to get each of the two runoffs to be the same volume. Obviously, the first water addition amount will vary depending on the amount of grain, and BeerSmith calculates this just fine, but the second addition will always be half the boil volume (plus dead space).
Is there any way to set this up in BeerSmith? Right now it seems to vary the mashout/sparge volume keeping the mash ratio constant - I'd like it to keep the volume constant, varying the ratio. Perhaps this could be made user-selectable when setting up a mash step?
Cheers,
Ian
