Use promash to project OG based on your system. Extract amounts have no effect on efficiency because extracts are already converted to sugar (no starch).

You did have the grains cracked... Right?

Also remember that with todays malting technology it really isn't necessary to have step mashes...

I'd be afraid of scorching the grain. If you want to do step mashing I would recommend a RIMS. It is difficult to control a step mash in a HERMS due to heat conduction.

I use this Link before every brew session. http://www.totalaccessibility.com/beer/calc.htm Very simple and accurate. I usually adjust start temp of the grain to 50 degF. Cheers

orfy: the method I use to calculate efficiency: enter amounts and types of grain into promash. Brew. Measure OG (adjusted for temp measured at). Adjust % Efficiency on promash to trigger the measured OG. I'm not entirely familiar with "ppg" scale. I know promash has...

Are you sure the liquid was at 60degF when you measured? Most hydrometers are calibrated to 60. You can measure hotter or colder, just adjust using promash hydro adjust function.

I use the WL Edinberg Scotch Ale Yeast. The last one I did I brewed a stout with the yeast starter. Then after boiling the scotch ale as long as I could I pitched it right on top of the yeast cake. This assures quick efficient fermentation. (also my lazy a__ doesn't have to sanitize my...

I put the yeast harvests in a sanitized mason jar. for a lid I just rubber band some seran wrap over the top. Then into the fridge they go until I make them into a starter.

If you're going to brew a big beer w/ appropriate volume of yeast just set the sanitized lid on top of the bucket (do not seal). You should seal after a few days and violence in your ferment ceases. you are fine tho... Cheers.

Are you all grain??

I fill my 15 gal converted keg when I mash with 30 lb of grain. I couldn't go any smaller on that vessel. If you only want to brew smaller beers at 10 gal you are fine.

There are many possibilities for this. Recipe?? I make 10 gallons of Wee Heavy (my favorite style) and use 30lbs of grain!! Let me know if you want to see my recipe. Cheers!
