Ok, fairly new to all grain brewing, but have been doing partials for about 4 years now. On third all grain brew. It's an American Amber Ale, shooting for a target O.G. of 1.065 and a F.G. of 1.016. Should be about 6.4%. Recipe is as follows
11.5 lb 2 row brewer's malt
1.68 lb Crisp amber malt
1 lb cara-pils
1 lb caramel 80
1 oz cluster @ 60
1 oz cascade @ 45
1 oz cascade @ 30
2 pkts SAFALE US-05
Ok, I thought I originally had low efficiency and when I went to calculate, my calculations show 160% efficiency!! WTF! Here is what I got. I collected 8.5 gallons of wort pre-boil at a gravity of 1.063. I did my calculation through "Designing Great Beers". Can someone help clarify this? Or you can just tell me that I am that friggin' awsome!!:fro:
