I was looking though some of the grain and hops that had been left over from prior brew days and figured I could make a beer out of this. Some of the specialty grains are old but are un-crushed at least. I used all of the specialty grains laying around other then a half pound of black patent. On the hops front I had some Amarillo, a little Citra, and some very old Simco and Warrior. Efficiency was lower then normal at 75% likely due to over estimating the amount of sparge water necessary. I forgot that I had 3 gallons of dead space calculated into by beer smith profile.
The correct volumes should have worked out as the following. The target with no dead space calculated was 8.5 gallons of mash and 9 gallons of sparge water. Two gallons go under my false bottom and half a gallon goes in the hoses and herms coil. That makes the mash water 11 gallons and sparge water 6.5 gallons. I may then add a half gallon to the sparge water to compensate for the half gallon under the mash tun dip tube.
