Hi, I'm making a recipe using Beersmith (1.4 and 2 -- I'm having the same issue with both). Sorry that I can't seem to be able to copy and paste the details from BS here. I'll attach the recipe to this post. Anyway, my question is specific. I chose a mash that's single infusion, medium body, batch sparge. All is well and good except for one thing. I don't understand why it's giving 2 sparge steps but not making the water amounts equal. The box is checked to do so in both versions of BS and I still get the same instructions. Here's what it says:
mash in 11.88 quarts for 60 minutes
batch sparge round 1 1.3 gallons at 168F
batch sparge round 2 2.86 gallons at 168F
So, I'm wondering if the batch sparge round 1 is a mash out? Would I add the 1.3 gallons to what is already there before emptying the mash wort? If so, do I add the 1.3 gallons at 168, or, as I would think, am I trying to get the total in the cooler to 168?
Anyway, I'm very confused right now. Any help will be very appreciated!
