I am curious about the way Beersmith calculates water amounts for batch sparging. I am brewing a 6gallon SNPA Clone recipie with 13.50 lbs of grain, I chose the medium body, batch sparge option for my mash profile, in the end I nkow I will need just over 7 gallons in my boil pot, Beersmith tells me to mash in with 16.20 qts of water, then sparge with 4.71 gallons of water. Does Beersmith take into account the grain absorption? I thought from all of the research I have done that you want to have equal amounts when you drain the MLT when using the batch sparge option. Or does it not matter that much. Thanks Tom
