Only a guess, but dead space in the boiler with the trub etc?

The Malt Miller kit volumes refer to the amount in the fermenter (I emailed Rob about it previously). Bear in mind if that is hot wort for end of boil volume it will also shrink by about a litre as well, you have kettle losses to dead space and trub as mentioned above and your particular equipment/efficiency may affect things as well.

How did you find the kit foob4r ?
Re: Belgian Blonde by Malt Miller
It was another kit I was enquiring about but Rob clarified what was meant by batch size.
Re: Belgian Blonde by Malt Miller
I brewed this just before Christmas. It has taken a while to condition, but is extremely nice. Really reminds me of my time in Brugges. Mine came in at 6.1 Abv.

Cheers all, will follow beersmith2 and see what happens
Re: Belgian Blonde by Malt Miller
Not sure if you have noticed but your recipe report is showing an OG: 1.055 (bit weak for a true Belgian blond) when the recipe on MaltMillers should be 1.065? Probably because you've increased the batch size as i'm sure this is for a 19-20 volume in to fermenter.D4nny74 wrote:Cheers all, will follow beersmith2 and see what happens

Re: Belgian Blonde by Malt Miller
'Batch size' is used very widely, but nobody ever explains which volume they're referring to.
For BeerSmith, 'batch size' means Volume into Fermenter.
Your Bottling Volume will be lower than this due to loss from trub, dry hops and yeast.
Your End of Boil Volume will be slightly higher than the batch size to allow for loss to trub, hops, cooling and any deadspace in your boiler.
