We've had our equipment for two weeks and have brewed twice. Needless to say, I think we're hooked.
Today we tried our first partial mash and I have a question about efficiency and reverse engineering the extract needs to hit our OG target.
We took a hydrometer reading, calculated our efficiency, and through a bunch of other random calculations, backed into what we needed. Is there a formula where you can take the hydrometer reading, subtract the difference from your goal, and then figure out exactly how much to add based on points needed?
I'm sure my next question will be about our mash itself and getting better efficiency.
Thanks for the help!
