@Pricelessbrewing I need some help here.
I'm working on a 3 gallon extract batch with a 15 minute boil, 1 oz of boil hops, and 7 oz of steeping grains
The malt extract will add approx 0.23 gallons of volume, the boil loss is 0.16 gallon, loss from grains 0.04 gallon, and loss from hops 0.04 gallon. I generally leave about 0.13 gallon in the kettle after transferring.
By my calculations for an ending boil volume of 3.13 gallons I would need to start with 3.14 gallons of water, yet the QWR is telling me to start with 3.56 gallons and the "Add QWR" in the mash section says to start with 3.75 gallons. They are both too high and don't match each other. The preboil volume is calculated at 3.75 which would result in 3.4 gallons in the fermenter.
Here's my math: 3 + 0.13 + 0.16 + 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.23 = 3.14 water
The recipe is called Dirty Penster Brown.
