I came up short on my last few brews regarding my post boil gravity and I'm recalibrating my sight glasses on my kettle and HLT to pin point the problem.
When beersmith tells me that I need like 12 Liters of water for the mash at 154 F, is that supposed to be cold tap water ? Once heated, I will gain 4% in volume and that's 12.5 Liters instead. Not a big difference I agree but I wanna be precise as possible.
Once my hlt is properly calibrated with cold water, I will use it to re-calibrate my kettle and compensate for the 4% difference.
