The spigot on my boil pot (which serves as my HLT prior to mash-in) leaves a 1 gallon deadspace. This impacts my brew day in two places:
1. mash in: to meet the "Mash Volume Needed" on the "Vols" tab I have to disconnect my pump and pour the last gallon into the mash tun (not ideal).
2. sparge: same thing - to meet the "Sparge Vol", again need to disconnect pump, pour last gallon into the mash tun.
The Equipment Profile doesn't seem to have a field to directly account for this. At first blush it would seem that I could account for mash-in by adding 1 gallon to the "Recoverable Mash Deadspace" in the equipment profile, but the same doesn't seem to hold true for "Mash Deadspace Losses".
Any suggestions?
