My last batch efficiency was poor. (only second AG batch) I then realized that I probably sparged at too low a temp. Somehow BS had me sparging at 168. Don't know how that happened.
So, I am looking at the Adjust Mash Temp tool. I plug in 0 for water volume assuming I have drained the mlt after mashing. I plug in 10 for weight of grain. I assume 154 for current grain temp. I guess 5 lbs for weight of mash tun (don't know exact at this point). I put target grain temp at 168 for the double batch sparge. At this point I assume the calculator ought to tell me the water addition temp needed, but it does not. It is blank waiting on me to plug it in. But that is what I'm trying to figure out in the first place.
Where am I going wrong?
