TimCA,
We're not sure where you are on all this but it will work out. Try this:
Make sure your Equipment Profile Selection is correct. If not create one. See Screen Shot for Equipment database. Critical points are:
1. We duplicated a profile with a 15 gallon boil pot.
2. We double clicked it to edit it
See screen shot of Equip.
We picked one that was close, duplicated it, then edited it. Critical points are,
1. Set Mash Tun Volume to 17 gallons
2. Note & correct Mash/Lauter Tun Losses - we left the profile default
3. Check box to allow Boil Volume to be calculate automatically
4. See the Boil Volume Calculated
In Screen Shot Recipe 1 we made the following changes.
1. Select the Equipment Profile we just created
2. Set our Batch Volume to 11 gallons
3. Check box so Boil Volume is Based on Equipment Selected
In Screen Shot Recipe2 we made the following changes
1. We selected a Mash Profile. You didn't say, so we just picked Single, Medium, Batch Sparge.
2. We checked the box to Adjust Temp Base on Equipment
The we clicked on the Details to edit the Mash Profile. See Screen Shot Mash Profile.
1. We edited the Mash Step to set the 32 qt strike you specified. See Screen Shot Edit Mash
2. we checked the Batch Sparges that fill (5.) 90% mash tun volume - is default. More later
3.Checked box to Sparge using equal batches
4. Checked box to Drain Mash Tun before Sparging.
That's basically it. See the Screen Shot Brew Sheet to verify 13+ gallon boil.
If you need two batches of Sparge, back in the Mash Profile Screen Shot, at step 5 you can lower the % of mash tun volume to get the steps. At 75% you get two equal steps. If you need tighter volume control, you can Tune for your equipment losses by careful volume measurements to determine your exact system losses
We hope this helps. We can't get all of the screen shots in one reply so the remainder will follow.
Good Luck, let us know how things turn out.
