Hi all. I've been away from brewing for a while, so I'm getting back into it now with the purchase of a Robobrew. I've got the profiles imported into Beersmith 3, and everything looks to make sense, except for the water.
The recipe i'm building is for:
Batch Size: 22L
Est Pre-Boil Vol: 26.92L
The Mash tab states:
Mash in in with 24.13L
Sparge with 9.18L of water
Accounting for loss due to absorbtion (BS estimates 6.39L), boil-off (BS estimates 1.91L), etc, these numbers look fine. So, that would equal a total water requirement of 33.31L . However, on the water tab, BS3 is telling me I need a total water amount of 36.29L.
My question is, where does that 3L of extra water go to? I can't think of for the life of me where this goes. For fermentation/bottling, there's no top-up water listed.
I'm leaving my BH efficiency at 72% until I get a few brews under my belt with this system. My goal is to fill my 5G keg.
