Sorry. I just moved this topic here instead of the general discussion
Hi
I have a little problem with my eqipment in beersmith
I use a cooler (20 litre) with bazooka screen as a mash tun. And a fermenter (30 litres), made of plastic wich I mounted 2 waterboiler heaters in, for boiler.
Then I use a pump for recirculation during the mashing. So I use the boiler to heat up the mash water and then the circulating wort.
And then also for boiling
Pretty simple, like a very simple rims/herms, I dont know.
Now my question.
In the boiler , there is like 8-10 litres to cover the heaters. I cant get that number into beersmith. Should I count that ammount as sparge water or count it in as the infusion water? Or maybe just count it like deadspace under lauter tun?
I like to brew 23 litre batches.
By the way... This boiler works just fine. Fast to get up to boil with one heater of 2300W and the other of 900W. Rolling boil with only 900W.
Thank you
