I am having troubles with sparge temperatures.
This week I brewed a batch of beer. It was 80*F (grain, tun) I had 13lbs of grain and put in 3.5gallons of 173*F water to hit 152*F mash temp.
Beersmith says use infusion temp 165.3*F. It doesn't let you change this number so I assume my equipment calibration numbers must be off? What numbers do I tweak to get my equipment to better match?
I change the tun weight, specific heat, volume of the equipment profile used by the recipe, but it still doesn't change the infusion temperature. thanks
I do see that with the infusion tool that If i use 0.7 instead of o.3 specific heat it gets close to the numbers I want. Perhaps recipes are not linked to their equipment profile changes?
