I thought I had things down until I delved into water volumes a little further and now can't seem to understand how the recipe editor works!
I'm attempting to make a 23l batch of beer... specifically 23l in the fermentor. The recipe I'm using calls for a pre boil size of 27L, with a total hop bill of 68g and boil length of 70 minutes. When I type in the pre boil size of 27L it automatically says post-boil of 20L...... but this is 3L LESS than the desired 23l?? So I could up the pre-boil size (which goes against the Greg Hughes recipe), but.....
... if I put in 1,000g of hops to the recipe, this has zero effect to the post & pre-boil calculations..... what about hop absorptions!?
To make matters more confusing, within the mash guidelines section, this seems to have no affect on the post and pre boil section either. Even if I enter 1,000,000l of sparge water, Brewers Friend will still let me enter 27l or post boil.
I'm using new equipment and have concerns about my efficiency, but with Brewers Friend seemingly being inefficient I now have no idea what's going on and have become really confused by it all as none it appears to have any effect?
