Yeah , i figured out it was about 5.75 with the gauge on the fermenter but as you said maybe it was 5.8-5.9,
Would boiling of like 30more min would really play on my hop addition. Let says on that brew i had 2oz of Fuggle @ 60min. but i then boil for 90 min to get my gravity. Would it screw up...
Hello guys, Been doing a porter yesterday and ended up with a little bit high Pre-Boil reading using an ATC refractometer.
The recipe called for a OG of 1.058 @ 5.25G @ 75% efficiency.
My Pre-Boil volume was 8Gallons. ( Yeah i'm loosing quite alot of wort while boiling.)
I then figured...
Great stuff i learned tonight . In beersmith , theres a space where i can enter my "Measured OG" let say 1.046 for the wheat beer and it gives my the actual measured efficiency : 85.8%
What i would have to do then is just got to "Scale Recipe" and put in 85.8% Efficiency and then it will scale...
Thank you very much guys. Just to recapitulate, how would you do for a new recipe lets says :
Do the recipe as it say for the first time.
Use my refractometer pre-boil and adjust with water.
Get my actual OG
And the next time i do this batch i scale my base malt using beersmith?
What i'm...
Wow thanks man , and another question would be, base on lets says that
Blonde Ale - ended up 1.049 instead of 1.039 how can i accuratly calculate the real efficiency i got so i can scale my base malt using beersmith
Hello , i did my 9 batch of all grain beer last weekend and i have a question. Normally efficiency question are almost all of the time about low efficiency. For me, its all the opposite. I always end up having a higher gravity then expected and higher alcool percentage.
For the last 2...
Thank everyonr for you comment
Hi bobc, i used a whirlfloc tablet 15 min before the end of the boil. I assume it should have done the same thing that irishmoss would have?
Thank

Hello everyone,
I've been doing 3 all grain batch so far with no issues. The three batches were stout and were delicious.
I did my fourth batch this sunday ( yesterday ) and it was my first blonde ale. I did my mash as usual ( Im batch sparging ) , and did 5-6 vorlauf with a 4quarts...
