I'm stuck. Missing something obvious here.
Does the program calculate HLT temperature to raise the saccharfication rest temp to Mash-out temp?
After the saccharfication rest I want to bring the mash temperature up from 154.0 to 168.0.
My "One-Step Infusion" schedule tells me nothing as far as that.
Then to sparge it tells me to add 4.8 gallons at 176 degrees to reach a sparge temperature of 170 (that's going from 168 to 170)
The final sparge temperature makes sense. But going from 154 to 168 is a big jump and I need to know how much water and at what temp to raise the mash from 154 degrees to 168 degrees? I currently only have about 4 gallons to sparge with so common sense says the temperature would have to be close to boiling temperature. Otherwise there would be very little water left for sparging.
What am I doing wrong? Obviously missing something very simple.
My recipe simply calls for a:
Saccharification Rest: of 154 degrees
Mash-out Rest: of 168 degrees
Sparge: of 170 degrees
From reading the posts you guys are masters at this program and I'm sure you have an answer for me.
Thanks!
