Hi!
I’ve a small question about equipment profile and mash tune heat.
I’ve a 45qt Coleman chest mash tune, work perfect for 10-12 gal batch as it's near full.
But last weekend, I brew with the same mash tune a 5gal batch. I lost 4° in my mash tune due to the space between the mash and the lid, more that expected when I heated the water. I completely forget to take this in mind when I was heating my water. I also thought afterwards that Beersmith has taken this in consideration. But hasn't or I forget something.
I check the box near the mash profile when I designed my recipe to take my equipment in the calculation.
It is a way to calculate this empty space to avoid the stress to boil water and compensate the temp in the mash tun when I design the recipe, so I’ve simply to follow the brew steps “blindness”?
Hoppy regards and thx for your feedbacks,
Dom
