Ran into an odd situation the other day. I created a new recipe using my 'calibrated' equipment profile which has been working out pretty well. At the end of the day I was about a gallon short with this new recipe. Given that this new recipe uses the same equipment profile that has worked in the past (same quantity of grains, same mash profile, nearly identical to the previous recipe) what factors would account for the water shortage?
Comparing between this new recipe and my tried and true recipe, the required strike water was the same between the two, however the amount of sparge water was different by about a gallon - which is what i was short by. Any ideas what would account for this difference? I would expect the amount of water between these two recipes to be the same, everything thing else is aside from the type of grains used.
For kicks i made a copy of my tried and true recipe and modified the grain bill to match the new recipe and the sparge water was more accurate, about a gallon (3.92gal v 4.7gal) more than the recipe that was short. Looking through all the menu and screen options I'm not finding anything that points to why the sparge volume for the new recipe was short by a gallon. Any thoughts or pointers?
