Hi, I've been doing 4 gallon AG batches and use a 5 gallon cooler mash tun. i'm upgrading my kettle to do be able to do 5 gallon batches. i'm creating a recipe for 5 gallons and under the mash tab, it keeps forcing me to use 3 steps.
I do a 1 hour mash, and then vourlaf, drain, and do a second round of hot water as mash out (what i thought was normal batch sparge method).
i selected the single infusion, med body, no mash out, 1 step option and then edited from there. under mash tab, under batch sparge options i checked batch sparge using batches that fill, 100% and checked drain mash tun box.
now it says for mash in 14.73 quarts at 163 deg, OK
then, batch sparge with 3 steps (drain mash tun, 2.72 gal, 1.27 gal) of 168 deg water.
is it possible that my 5 gallon cooler mash tun is suddenly not big enough and BS is forcing another step on me now? i looked back at all of my 4 gallon recipes and thought i created an identical mash profile.
please help. thanks!
