My Mash Profile (Single Infusion, Med Body, Batch Sparge) is set with 'Use Equal Batch Sizes' checked on.  I assume this means that if I need to sparge with 4 gal total - it will split it into 2 x 2gal sparges.

However, in my case, it has me do 2 sparges - one 0.06gal and one 3.89 gal...  seems odd
 
Do you have the box checked to drain the mash tun first?  Usually this happens because the program adds water to fill the mash tun, assumes the user drains it and then adds the balance.  If you drain the mash tun first before adding any sparge water, then you need to tell the program that is your process.
 
Ah, I see.  In fact I sparge in a bucket separate from my BIAB boil kettle - so in a sense, I guess I'm draining my mash tun....
