In all grain brewing, it's nice to get an accurate calculation of extract efficiency, so we know exactly what our pre-boil gravity will be and have an idea of how the resulting beer will turn out in terms of final gravity. Most of this has to do with calculating the efficiency of your particular...

Sometimes I collect more wort than my pot can hold and need to use 2 pots. But then I want to know what the combine SG is of the total wort so I can calculate efficiency. I finally figured this out the other day, so here's a way to do it for anyone else that runs into this situation: 1...
