I do not think it's so important to have the exact volume of HLT water register in your software/beer recipe. For example, when I brew, I make note of the suggested sparge amount in the s/w, then just go ahead and add 1-2 gallons more because (1) you never know when you might need more hot water; and (2) I have a HERMs system and I want the recirc heat exchanger to be submerged in 170F water for as long as possible as I sparge. What is important is watching the fill line in your BK.
