Grainfather Equipment Profile different from GF calculators

razzer35 said:
Kevino you seem to be making this mine field a little easier for me to manoeuvre. Thanks. With regards to the change of 3.41 from lauter loss to addition do I still keep the 3.41 in the top up field?

Hi Razzer35,

I set up my ale 60min profile lately as below. FYI - For a lager equipment profile I increase brehouse efficiency to 80% from 75, as I find this difference between ales & lagers.
Mashtun Vol: 30L
Mash Tun Weight: 9.30kg
Mash Tun Spec heat: 0.12
Mash tun Addition: 3.41L
Lautertun Losses: Nil
Adjust Mash Vol for losses: ticked
Top up water for kettle: Nil
Calculate boil vol Auto: Unticked
Boil Vol: 28L
Boil Time: 60Min
Boil Off: 3L
Use boil off as an hourly rate: ticked
Cooling shrinkage: 4%
Loss to trub etc will depend on your fermenter.

Other important thing is setting your mash profiles correctly. Water/Grain ratio = 2.713L/kg

Hope that helps.
