I like to do batch sparges in three batches. When I use the mash
manager in Strangebrew, the amount collected from the first batch is
always about 2 quarts short. I'm sure that's because of my mash tun
design.
Of course I can simply use that much more water in the first batch, but
I looked in vain for any way to set a "lost to mash tun" amount. Is
there some way to do that? If not, it would seem like a good idea for a
future version.

Hi John, right now there isn't a way to adjust that value (at least for
the mash part). Either the software isn't taking into account some
sort of loss under the false bottom or manifold, or the amount of water
absorbed by the grain is slightly off. Either way, it's the same
result. I will add this as a feature request for the next version.
BTW are you using the Windows or Java version? This feature will
probably show up in the Java version first.
