Hi all - I'm looking for a sanity check here on what I'm doing to determine my efficiency.
My process right now is this:
1.) Mash and sparge. Upon completion of sparge, gently stir the wort and take a sample from the brewpot.
2.) Reduce sample temperature to somewhere in the 80* area (my arbitrary number) - take gravity reading and record wort temperature.
3.) Boil wort and chill.
4.) Stir the chilled wort well and take a second gravity reading and record wort temperature.
5.) Plug the numbers into an online calculator along with the grain bill (I had been using rooftopbrew's calculator)
Does this all sound right or do you do differently?
Thanks!
