I'm probably missing something stupidly simple here but I'll throw this one out there anyway:
When changing the mash profile from a standard single infusion profile I normally use, to a step mash profile I created for German Helles it's affecting the estimated attenuation and Final Gravity of my beer thus lowering my estimated ABV. However it does not affect my original gravity at all. The same thing happens when I change between standard light body and full body single infusion profiles.
I guess my question is: How can the mash schedule affect the Final gravity of the beer achieved after fermentation, when it does not affect the Original gravity at all? I thought attenuation was only affected by fermentation temperatures/techniques, yeast type and all that jazz and not the mash.
Huge thank you to anyone who can answer these questions. It's driving me just a little bit nuts right now. I wanna get to brewing!
