![]() ![]() Once done, you can pretty much forget about it unless you make a significant change to your efficiency. I recommend using an average grain bill to set your profile up. this number, which means my mashing and sparging volumes are not correct. The volume related to the grain bill will be adjusted for each recipe as the equipment profile is applied. Ben expands his BeerSmith tutorial by covering aspects of the program that. When you set up your equipment profile, you specify a base grain weight for the program to configure a basic balance. Since it does this for us, once you have measured and adjusted your equipment profile to match your process volumes, it should be pretty close almost every time, with in the user ability to measure (measurement noise). Note: I have left out the adjustment for thermal volume expansion, but the software calculates this into the various hot volume figures for you. For those who need a primer, No Sparge is a process whereby the full volume of brewing water is added in a single charge to the grains, and lautering simply. ![]() The program will then calcul as the back to the beginning amount of water needed to achieve the pre-boil volume automatically. No Sparge in BeerSmith You can use any of the BIAB (Brew in a bag) mash profiles on a recipe to force BeerSmith into a full boil mash volume. It then takes the boil off volume and adds t hff at to the post boil volume to get the pre boil volume. Once we know the total mash water needed, we can use any infusion calculator (Tools->Infusion in BeerSmith) to get the strike water temperature needed. The program adds the batch size and post boil losses (trub loss) to get the post boil volume. In the equipment profile post boil/pre-fermenter losses are specified, again by the user. According to the app i should have had 28 litres. AFTER Sparging i was left with a pre boil volume of 26.5litres. My only small problem was that the recipe creator told me i needed 17 litres of mash water and 15 litres of sparge water for a grain bill of 5kg. So, following the logic in BeerSmith, the user specifies the desired volume into the fermenter (batch size). I am using the grainfather online recipe creator and then using the grainfather connect. Now using cold boil volume rater than hot (including expansion) when calculating water for 'No Sparge' water calculation method, this will reduce the total water calculated by 4, you might want to increase the grain absorption rate to compensate I did the math by hand and confirmed that it had indeed previously been doing that. volume loss due to boil off, and loss after boil to trub, sampling, and/or piping loss. There are a few primary points in making wort where losses occur: dead space and piping losses in the mash tun, losses due to water absorption of the grain. On it's own, it is not that difficult to calculate once you know the losses in your system. Determination of volumes throughout your process is one of the primary reasons for using brewing software such as BeerSmith. ![]()
