Hello everyone,
My brew kettle has an output valve near it's bottom, as I'm sure many of yours do as well. Approximately one gallon of liquid is left after I let it drain all the way out without tipping the vessel. My question is how should I factor this into my calculations? For instance, when I'm collecting my runnings from the mash tun and trying to calculate the amount of sparge water I need, should I just subtract one gallon from my total? So if I run off 9 gallons, figure it's actually 8?
Thanks!
