I was just wondering how this value affects everything else in Beersmith.
What I expect it to do:
I want to make a 19L batch, but I lose 2L to trub and plate chiller. I would expect that putting 2L in this field would mean that it would lower my predicted OG because I'm losing 2L of wort. I would then have to increase my grains to compensate for this loss.
What actually happens:
It adds two liters of water to my "total water needed" and "sparge", but doesn't do anything else.
To have the intended effect, it seems that I have to set this value to zero and manually increase my batch size to 21L.
Am I thinking this wrong or is this a bug in the software?
Thanks!
