I must have read the help file on Target volumes 10 times and I still don't understand it...
can anyone explain the difference between "Water Needed Pre-Boil Targets" and "Raw Pre-Boil targets" in words of less that 3 syllables?
I am having a blonde moment here I know, but I'm about to pop a vein... !
The window is under Efficiency in the Brew session window - this is the text from the help file
Note that there are 3 targets:
1) The first is the Water Needed Pre-Boil Targets. This is the total volume of wort that is shown "Into Kettle" from your Water Needed Calculator. This combines evaporation rate and boil time plus sparge water, mash water (including additional infusions), vessel losses and top-up water recorded in the Water Needed Calculator. This may vary from the "Raw Pre-Boil" amounts because of these additional amounts and losses. The numbers represents the amount of wort you should have prior to boiling, and at a pre-boil gravity needed to achieve the proper post-boil gravity (given the Water Needed figures).
2) The Second is the Raw Pre-Boil Targets. This is the "perfect-world" pre-boil number, where exact tolerances are met and no additional amount or losses are recorded. The numbers represents the amount of wort you should have prior to boiling, and at a pre-boil gravity needed to achieve the proper post-boil gravity. Only the targeted final volume, gravity, evaporation rate and boil time are taken into account.
3) The third is the Post Volume Targets, and are simply the target batch size and gravity of the recipe.
TIA
