I'm trying to understand the Boil Off Tool in BS2 v2.1.02, either I'm stupid or the tool is counterintuitive.
Starting volume: Is this the expanded volume measured at boiling temp?
Starting gravity: Is this measured at 20C or something else?
I have enclosed an example, where I assume the starting volume is actually measured at 20C, the same is true for the post boil volume.
The formula V1 * GP1 = V2 * GP2 gives me 30 * 100 / 27 = 111, all fine and dandy.
Now if I fiddle around with the shrinkage rate, the post boil gravity increases, is this correct? I thought the formula above needed the temperature before and after (1 and 2) to be the same? As I interpret it, BS2 is mixing starting volume at boil temp with post boil volume at chilled temperature.
Edit: If the calculator is indeed using starting volume (V1) measured at boiling temp, shouldn't the formula be something similar to
V1 (Boil Temp) * 0,96 * GP1 = V2 (Chilled Temp) * GP2?
