I was just wondering how some of you more experienced brewers adjust a recipe to your equipment's efficiency. I get about 80% efficiency, which is great, but most recipes I see out there are for 70% or 75%. Typically, I adjust the recipe in proportion to the recipe's grain bill. If it's 70% 20% 10% I keep those ratios. But now that I am refining my process, I notice once I make these adjustments, often times my SRM and IBU's deviate from the recipes, sometimes quite a bit.
Any advise on how to adjust the recipe and keep everything close to the recipe....maybe just adjust base malt instead of speciality malts?
Thanks!
