First of all, please forgive me if my question sounds naive, or if it has been answered already. Why does the projected ABV of a recipe change with different mash profiles? I'm finally beginning to get with the program in regards to BeerSmith, and since completing my new system I've updated my equipment profile, but when I when I use my mash profile, which I titled "Herms", the ABV of my recipe changes(which I've noticed with other mash profile changes) and the Brew Steps instruct me to sparge with 12.48 gallons of water, and then top off for a pre boil volume of 7.97 gallons-- all for the same 5 gallon batch. What did I do wrong? The mistake must be in my mash profile, right? Thanks.
