ProMash Tour - Brewing Session, Water Needed


How much water are you going to need for this brew? Good question. ProMash will tell you (and allow you to modify) all water amounts you will need for the particular brew. Infusion amounts from the mash schedule, evaporation rates, loss to equipment and cooling shrinkage are all taken into account.

What you get is an accurate picture of just how much water you will need and how much wort will end up in the fermenter. In fact, because of this, many brewers find themselves formulating a bigger recipe so that the intended amount, at the intended gravity, actually ends up in the fermenter. For instance, formulating and brewing a 6 gallon batch size with the knowledge that there will be 1 gallon of wort lost from the kettle to the fermenter.
