Simple question - how do I enter in my estimated mash efficiency?
Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a good answer. To be clear, I'm talking about the efficiency from the mash tun into the boiler, not brewhouse efficiency.
Under equipment profiles, there is only the option to enter brewhouse efficiency. Then, on the recipe design page, the "Est Mash Eff" is given in a grayed out box as an output.
Looking through the BS forums it doesn't look like there is a direct way to enter your mash efficiency. I found two methods from this thread.
1. Use the attached spreadsheet in that thread to calculate brewhouse efficiency if you know your mash efficiency (or vice versa).
2. Using the method in the attached pdf, tweak your brewhouse efficiency until the estimated OG equals your actual OG for a given recipe. Then use that brewhouse efficiency in your equipment profile to calculate your mash efficiency.
Is there really no way to enter it directly? It seems silly to need a spreadsheet to accompany the brewing software.
