Hi there, fairly new to brewing and first post on the forum to please be gentle.
I am starting to gather enough knowledge and information to attempt my first AG brew. I have downloaded the Beersmith App and am trying to work out my mash tun dead space for my "equipment profile".
I made a filter device for the tun from slotted copper pipe, if I fill the cooler with water and then allow to run off I end up with about 500ml (half a quart) of water remaining in the cooler.
Is this my mash tun dead space or would it be significantly more once I have the grain bed in there.?
