Hi and thanks for a great software!
I am a beginner brewer and it has helped me a lot!
So, probably I am totally misunderstanding something, but the recipe part of the software is a bit confusing here and there:
After Mash Steps my recipe say:
◯ Add water to achieve boil volume of 10,00 L
◯ Estimated pre-boil gravity is 1,078 SG
Thereafter my boil ingredients are listed including:
Spraymalt DME and Cane sugar
Is it an implicity that pre-boil gravity is always measured including extra fermentables listed in the boil section?
I actually messed up a bit because of this.
Shouldn?t it instead say:
◯ Add all other fermentables (LME, DME, sugars...)
◯ Add water to achieve boil volume of 10,00 L
◯ Estimated pre-boil gravity is 1,078 SG
Alternatively:
◯ Add water to achieve boil volume of 10,00 L
◯ Estimated post-mash gravity is 1,056 SG
The second thing:
After the boil, down in my recipe it say:
Estimated Post Boil Vol: 8,50 L and Est Post Boil Gravity: 1,062 SG
But after that, it say:
◯ Add water if needed to achieve final volume of 12,50 L
◯ Measure Actual Original Gravity _______ (Target: 1,062 SG)
It must be that the post-boil gravity is not corrected for the post-boil volume?
Thanks!
