Hey All, I just picked up a Robobrew so i could do some brewing indoors during the winter regardless of temperature.. The Robobrew is programed to work with Celsius and I'm Canadian so i figured it was a sign to end the insanity of using imperial measures.
I set up an equipment profile (which i have double checked a few times now), converted an old recipe into metric and set out my brew day.. now however, the brew day calculator is telling me I need a boil volume of 40L (10G) for a 21 L (5.5G) batch when my evaporation rate is about 2 l/qt an hour and I'm using 5.5 Kg of gain... Total insanity...
What have I missed??? Or what do i need to reconfigure to correct this?
***EDIT**** I mindlessly entered the equipment profile values from a video on the RoboBrew profile for Brewers Friend by the Electric Brewery... The video converts the imperial values to metric, but does not take into account the differences between volume and weight measurements which throws off both your mash thickness (too little) and your hop absorption rates.. I set the mash thickness to 3.2 L per KG and the set the hop absorption to the default.. 0.005..****
