BS3. Usually I batch sparge and have loved using the water profile tool and being able to import the water additions into my recipe. However I am now having a go at fly sparging (Single Infusion, Medium Body, No mash out)and find that the amount of sparge water to use is incorrect (not enough) and hence the sparge water additions are out? I can confirm this by using the "Water Needed Tool" and "Pre Boil Volume". As the amount of sparge water required is a calculated field I have no control over adjusting the this amount along with the water additions.
The only way I have overcome this is to use the "Water Profile Tool" and enter the correct amount of sparge water ( I also allow for leaving water over the heating element etc) then hit the Match Target Profile Button which then calculates the correct proportions for the additions. I then manually enter the amounts into my recipe via the "Add Salts" in the "Water" menu.
I guess the way that I would fix this is to be able to manually change the Sparge water Vol like we can with the Mash water volume? Any ideas?? Thanks
