Gday all,
Can anyone shed light on salt additions. If using distilled/RO water do you scale the salt additions according to the Total amount of liquor used or the amount at pre-boil. I realise adding a % to the mash and then remainder to the kettle is the way to go but not sure on wether to scale to HLT volume ( i.e amount of liquor for both mash and sparge) or pre-boil volume. I'll sparge with distilled/RO only. E.g for a 22 litre batch post boil I might need 38litres liquor but pre-boil is 32 litres. Cheers.
