So I have switched up from 10L to 12L batches for my normal strenght beers, and discovered that the amount of sparge water to subtract from beersmith suggested amount from absorption rate is not really linear.
Ended up with a little too much wort and pre boil SG of .34 instead of .37, not right but no big deal, but after adding the calculated amount of invert and boiling I ended up with an OG of .47 instead of .54. So something seems a little off with the sugar since the initial difference shouldnt warrant that much of a drop in the OG.
Could it be that the too much wort made the sugar amount become too low to raise the gravity to my desired level or could it be it simply does not raise it as much as beersmith thinks?
