For the last few years i have made an apple fruit beer for fall. I have always just subtracted the amount of sparge water and added in that amount at the end of my boil. Thereby acheiving the full boil volume and the remaining sugars needed for the beer.
For instance , leaving out 20gal of sparge water for a 3bbl batch and adding in that 20gal as juice in the boil and reaching my starting estimated gravity.
I have figured out how to add Apple juice and adjust the wavering sg of the juice but i am haveing trouble making beersmith see the apple juice additional volume.
How do you make the program see the change in sparge water and estimate how much sugar you may leave in the mash? So that when you add the apple juice it reflects that addition and adds in the remaining sugars needed?
