Can anyone help, its my first AG brew using a mash tun and I've programmed it into beer smith (first time using software) and reduced the quantity so I end up with 19L to fill a keg.
Do the numbers look about right ? I was surprised that the sparge uses more water than the initial mash.
To get 19L into Keg I've assumed :
1L loss in mash lauter, 2L Loss to Trub. Boil of rate at 11% and Efficiency at 70% using 5Kg Maris Otter.
So the numbers
Mash in with 12.83L water at 72.5C for 60 mins
Single Batch sparge of 18.89L @ 75.6C
Boil Size 25.72L
End of Boil Vol 22.92
Many thanks for any help :)
