Hey guys some what experience Brewer here. Looking for some help regarding fly sparging on my new set up. I understand sparging will somewhat lower your gravity from what you measured pre sparge. My pre sparge OG was 1.083 (closer to my estimated then preboil). After fly sparge my preboil gravity was 1.053. I inputted my whole set up into beersmith with all the measurements and effiencey and I am still coming up way short as far as gravity goes. Any help would be much apprefiatedm. Thanks!
