Updated: Water estimation tool for continuous sparging

The water estimation tool received a few tiny adjustments in regard to how water use is estimated for continuous sparges. These depend upon maintaining a medium-thickness mash throughout the sparge process.

The calculator was actually using 2.0 l/kg as stated in the documentation. The update also bumped this value up from 2.0 l/kg to 2.5 l/kg to be more conservative. 

The description of how this calculator works was edited for greater clarity.
