Is kettle deadspace in the equipment profile referring to the deadspace in the mash tun or the dead space in the boil kettle?
And depending on the answer, how would you setup an equipment profile with the following losses?
- 2.25g lost in the bottom of the mash tun
- 2.25g lost in the bottom of the boil kettle
- 0.5g lost in the tubing and counterflow chiller between boil kettle and fermenter
optional:
- 0.5g lost in tubing between recirculation tubing
It sorta sucks that I've got ~5 gallons of losses when I'm mostly making 5 gallon batches but it's spread throughout the HERMs system. So generally, I shoot for a preboil volume of 10 gallons, post-boil 8.5gallons and then after the 2.75 lost between boil and fermenter, I get the 5.5gallons in the fermenter.
I'm just not sure how the calculators work enough to get the numbers in the right places in brewersfriend.
Thanks for all the help!
