I'm trying to get a handle on one part of my process and I'm not sure if this is covered by the "boil off" calculator. What I want to do is enter my pre-boil or post-sparge gravity reading and figure out what my post boil volume should be based on a target OG as supplied by the recipe.
I think my last few batches have been off because I'm not tuning in on my target OG. So if I measure my post sparge wort for gravity and volume, and have my target OG, it should be possible to figure out when to stop my boil by volume. Or at least give a ballpark for when to stop the boil.
I've read some info about doing this calculation but since I bought BeerSmith I thought it would be great if this feature was already built in (and I just can't find it). The "boil off" might do the job but it seems to not work the way I want in that it's not solving for ending volume.
