Hi all
When working out ebu, malt quantity and hops for a partial malt extract boil, does the "volume" in beer engine refer to boil length with or without the malt in the liquor? Not sure how much displacement there is and how much effect it will have on the hop extraction.

hi
as far as im aware the volume relates to the size of brew you aim to achieve. so if you want to brew 23 litres of beer...input 23 litres into the volume.
i'm sure someone will correct this if i'm wrong!

Re: Beer Engine
The volume field is the final amount of beer you want in your FV.

Re: Beer Engine
I did think that but if the boil volume combined with the quantity of malt determines your hop extraction, how are you supposed to make accurate calculations? Or doesn't the small ammount of displacement by the malt really make that much difference?OldSpeckledBadger wrote:The volume field is the final amount of beer you want in your FV.

Re: Beer Engine
I hope Graham doesn't think I'm complaining about the software, far from it. It's helped me no endmarko wrote:good post soupdragon it confused me too, thanks guys for advice
I'm just a little confused. Mind you, it may be designed with full length boils in mind so my queery might not really apply.Cheers Tom
