Ok, I've read everything on here I could find about Mash Profiles and I still can't get it to do exactly what I want...
Set up My Equipment no problem. Create a new Mash Profile and it looks like it defaults to a 10 pound grain bill and I got everything to look good. That is...
Mash In (@ 1.25q/#) says to use 12.5 quarts - Check
Mash Out says to use 5.8 quarts - Check (Grain absorption, dead space yields 3.125 G 1st runnings)
Sparge says 3.125 G - Check (3.125 G 2nd runnings (equal to 1st) for 6.25 into kettle)
...but now, it appears that, when that profile is applied to a different size grain bill, things get scaled differently than I'd want to keep equal runnings. That is, if I apply that same profile to a 9 pound grain bill...
Mash In (@ 1.25q/#) says to use 11.25 quarts - Check
Mash Out says to use 5.22 quarts - Wrong (looks like this was scaled down when it should have been scaled up to 6.56 quarts to maintain 3.125 G 1st runnings)
Sparge says 3.46 G - Wrong (this went up to account for less 1st runnings when it should actually stay at 3.125 G 2nd runnings no matter the grain bill (assuming same total into kettle)
...so is this the way it's supposed to work? Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else get it to work the way it should?
