Hello Everyone.
I've been reading and reading recipes all around and I have stumbled upon some things I don't understand.
Here are some:
- When I read the recipe the batch size is 18.93 l. In the mash instruction section it says to add 10 l of water at Xº temp and later add water to achieve 25.70 l of wort. My question is, the gravity of the 10 l of infused water will have enough density so when I add 15 l of water the SG will be around the estimated parameters? Or is it a glitch in the recipe? or the conversion units are not set up properly? Am I reading the steps incorrectly?
- At the beginning of the same recipe, the total amount of water to be used is 30.74 l. The amount of water needed for the the Mash In is 10.65 l and in the Fly Sparge is 20.09 l. If I add both quantities (10.65 + 20.09) that gives me 30.74, so i can assume that I have to do the Mash In and the Fly Sparge one after the other. Because it says "Add water to achieve boil volume of 25.70 l" I should expect a lost of water higher than 5 l?
- If the batch volume is 18.93 l, why the final bottling volume is 17.41 l?
I'm from Chile, so my "technical" english is not the greatest so forgive me if something is not clear.
Cheers and hope you can help me.
