I have just been recommended this site:
http://www.brew365.com/mash_sparge_water_calculator.php
It is an awesome calculator for mash/sparging water...but some of the terms are Greek to me.
For example:
-trub loss
-equipment loss
-mash thickness
-wort shrinkage
-grain absorption constant
-percent boil off per hour (I guess it is the water that evaporate per hour...but how do I know how much evaporates?)
Sorry for asking this utterly newbie questions...but I think this is the best place for this.
