Okay ignoring the IBU issue from before I ran across another oddity - This goes with the theory of now modifying the "batch recipe"
I brewed a beer yesterday - BIAB - hitting numbers was "ok"
Had to add 2 liters pre-boil because it was the second brew of the day and I didnt feel like squeezing the bag "like crazy"
My Pre-boil OG was slighly lower than expected - okay I can account for that in my method
However at the end of the boil I encountered my "issue" with the program
At the end of the boil I was to have 2L trub loss and 24L batch - And this was pretty much spot on -
EXCEPT - due to higher trub/hops mess I actual stopped the transfer and Had 4L trub loss and 22L batch
Now I think we can all agree that no matter what I do here from a volumn sharing point of view I am not changing my OG (1.050)
The recipie is not changing - the process is not changing
I can leave as much "trub loss volumn" in the boil vessle and my OG into my fermenter should not change..
However "modifying the recipie" to 4L and 22L changes the recipies Expected number from
1.052 SG to 1.056 SG
So my question is - should'nt the calculations calculate the Beer numbers be based on Trub+batch - where Trub loss (and bottling loss) hurt your "brewhouse eff"
