For BIAB brewers using Beersmith, should we zero out the "Cooling Shrinkage" value in our equipment profile if the full volume into the kettle is measured cold?
My Equipment and Mash profiles combine to give me this for a typical recipe:
Volume Tab
* MASH *
Tot Mash Water: 8.08 gal
Grain Absorption: .74 gal
Water Avail from Mash: 7.34 gal
* Boil and Fermentation *
Kettle Top Up: 0 gal
Est Pre-Boil Vol: 7.34 gal
Boil Off: 1 gal
Post Boil Vol: 6.34 gal
Cooling Shrinkage: .25 gal
Trub Loss: .6 gal
* Fermentation/Bottling *
Batch Size: 5.5 gal
Since I put the initial 8.08 gallons into the my Boil Kettle cold (BIAB, Full Volume) I will end up with an extra .25 gallons in the kettle assuming I hit my trub loss, boil off and grain absorption numbers.
