Great videos, thanks!

Not bragging, but I can get pretty darn exact with producing recipes in my head. If I want to know the IBU, SRM, etc., I'll calculate it, but I rarely do, and get in the range I'm shooting for. I hit OG consistently too. Over time I've gotten to know my system, efficiency, process, etc., better than any program can predict. Just my $.02. I do sometimes use a program if it's a style I haven't tried to brew before. There's a good quick one on power's brewery site. Cheers!

Sorry about that. If you go to google, you can type something like "1 quart in liters" and hit enter. It will do the conversions.

is there water loss to the grain from sparge? im trying to figure out how to measure my sparge amount as im using the same ale pail technique to measure my first & second runnings. i keep getting different answers on grain absorbtion w/ sparge. i know during the mash there is around 1.375 absorbtion, but not sure w/ sparge? im doing my first AG this week, any advice appreaciated..

During mash, the absorption is about .125 gallons per pound or (1/2 quart per pound). This doesn't include mash tun deadspace loss though (the amount of liquid that remains in the tun after draining even when there is no grain in there. You can measure this with water ahead of time. During the sparge, there is no loss. 4 gallons in, 4 gallons out.

you don't take pH measurement. right? You didn't use your pH meter.

No, I sure didn't at the time. I've only begun worrying about mash pH and water chemistry in the last 5-6 months. I currently use the colorphast test strips to verify my pH but it's been spot on since getting into water modification. I have more videos on that on my channel.
