I have a full electric setup almost identical to www.theelectricbrewery.com. The issue I'm having is that there is no place to add my HERMS coil volume (along with dead space below my false bottom) for use in the strike water calculation. The calculation only takes into account (lbs of grain * Mash thickness / 4). I tried using the Lauter Tun deadspace field, but this is only used when determining sparge water for batch sparging it seems, so it's best for me to keep this at 0 since I do a fly sparge. What I would like to see is a field where I can input my HERMS volume and dead space so it can do the same strike water calculation and add this additional amount. Since this volume is always separate of the grain, I believe extra water needs to be added to the mash tun in order to achieve the same mash thickness. Am I possibly incorrect that this additional strike water should not be included? If not, I would think the water/grain thickness would be too high, but maybe I'm misunderstanding the concept here.
