So, batch sparge 101.
I'm totally lost. Let me tell you what I do, and see if you can get the software to do it with me:
Mash in at ~1.25qt/G, rest for say 60m at some 152-ish depending on Rx. Then batch sparge using about 1/2 the volume as the first runnings, then do again. (4g mash = 3g first runnings, then 1.5g X 2 for sparging, eg.) Usually at about 168 deg.
How do I get the software to refer to that?
Also, I have no real idea about the mash tun fill volume. Can we not just use qts of liquer rather than percentage of the tun volume?
And how did you figure in how much would be left by the end of the first sparge? I seem to get out about all that I put in, since the grain has absorbed all it will take from the mash already. If I say 90%, why would it not be the same amount of water for the first and second sparge?
-I probably have more Q's, but I'll wait on them.
