Folks
I have been reading a lot on the forum to aquaint myself with the changes that have taken place since I last brewed..
One thing has struck me, Im reading a lot about total water volume post sparge and mash efficiency.
Last time I was brewing I would stop the sparge at the point where my target pre boil gravity was achieved.
If this left me short on wort, on the next brew id simply adjust the grain bill to give me more volume of wort . likewise if I had too much wort Id reduce teh grainbill
Mash efficiency and brewhouse efficiency were a side issue. hitting pre boil gravity was more important for consitent brewing.
Is this not a thing anymore ? is it a change thats come around with BIAB/AIO becoming mainstream?
