When I hit Brew it! during brew day, the water requirements it wants me to use are exceedingly high...
Is there something in my profile I can re-dial in?
I use 10 quarts to mash with. It typically absorbs about 1 quart. I sparge 3 quarts back in, getting me to my 12 quart boil size.
I boil down to 9 quarts, and then add a 1 liter starter back in getting 10 quarts again.
But, here is what the requirements spit out at me:
Water: Gallons/Quarts
Total mash water needed: 5.51 / 22
Grain absorption losses: -0.63 / -2.5
Volume increase from sugar/extract: 0.02 / 0.1
Starting boil volume: 4.9 / 19.6
Boil off losses: -2.25 / -9
Hops absorption losses: -0.15 / -0.6
Amount going into fermentor: 2.5 / 10
Total: 5.51 / 22
Total mash water should be 2.5/10
Starting boil volume should be 3/12
Boil off losses should be .75/3
Hop absorption should be...0 if anything
