Hi Guys,
Hope you can help. Like many people I am struggling with the whole equipment profile set up. I have looked at the video, I have downloaded the PDF and I have looked at the Scandinavian chaps blog, all to no avail.
The principle problem is water/liquour losses and what to start with to ensure enough goes in to the FV. I have produced a few AG brews now to understand my losses and where they arrive in the process. Take for example my boil off losses. They are usually around the 5.5 litre mark regardless of brew length. I have that parameter plugged into my equipment profile with the brew length set to 25 litres. I am working on a recipe of the same length but when I look at the water requirements it has the boil off at 3.14 litres. What am I missing here, surely the boil off is only going to vary through atmospherics/temp etc. and if it is the same brew length shouldn't the software carry over into the new recipe?
