I have been brewing with lots of homegrown hops lately and have come up short on volume with larger hop bills fairly consistently. Not huge but still short when using whole hops. I know there is more absorption with whole cones and I do just throw them in the BK and have hop absorption set high for this but is the volume of hops themselves considered with ending kettle volume? Is hop volume considered in the hop absorption setting in my profile? This is not hop absorption but volume added from the cones themselves I am wondering about. If I brew with pellet hops they go in the bag and are removed when whirlpool is over with about 2 qts of trub left after wort transfer. When using whole hops they just drop down and are somewhat piled in the center of BK(keggle)and not removed until after wort transfer. This amount varies quite a bit with amount of whole hops used, both in volume of hops and trub/lost wort. So when measuring end of boil volume does the software consider them still part of the volume or is this something I need to just adjust for on my own. I think I need to make my own adjustments but just double checking.
