So I normally brew 6g brews with a Cajun Injector but with Winter coming along, I'll have to put that on hold. I currently have a 4g stock pot that I'd like to put to good use.
What I do with my CI is I use a Bag, I drain the CI, then Sparge and return the wort. Essetnially the same system as having a seperate Tun. I thought I could do the same with 3.5g recipes using my 4g pot.
I tried creating a new Equipment Profile for my 4G but Beersmith isn;t quite giving me the numbers I expected. Here's the setup I treid to enter.
Efficiency : 80%
Mash Tun Vol: 4G (total volume of my Pot right?)
Mash Tun Weight: 4lb (a guess but I'll update tonight)
Tun Specific Heat: 0.30
DeadSpace: 0
Adjust mas ol for deadspace : checked
Kettle Top Up: 0
Calculate Boil Volume automatically: Checked(first problem, when I do this, it tells me that the next field Boil Volumen is 4.4g which is bigger than my pot?)
Boil Volume: 3.75 (4.4 if Calculate Automatically is checked on)
Boil time: 60
Boil off: 0.50
Use boil as houraly rate: checked
Post boil volume: 3.25
Shrinkage: 4.0%
cooling Loss: 0.13
Hop Util;: 100%
Trub Loss: 0 (dunno what to put here)
Top Up Water: 0 (dunno what to put here)
Batch Volume: 3.5g (that's what I want it the end right?)
Fermenter Loss: 0 (dunno what to put here)
Bottling Volume: 3.25g (lower than what i want which is 3.5)
Any help sorting out this profile would be much appreciated.
Also, is there somewhere where I could find a whole list of Equipment Profiles to pick from, my mobile app only has like a dozen,
Thx
