Since I just started AG, I'm looking to figure out exactly how I understand my brewhouse efficiency.
For example, I brew a recipe that assumes 70% efficiency (which I hear is a good place to at least start).
Here's a few questions running through my mind.
Does mash efficiency change brewhouse efficiency? Say my mash efficiency jumps 5-10 points this next brew that assumes 70%...will that then throw off my recipe plan since I'd have a higher Pre-boil gravity?
Am I aiming to adjust my gravity to match recipe efficiency assumptions?
How many brews does it take to establish a solid brewhouse efficiency for recipe development? I know there's no magic number but I want to see what people's experiences are.
As you can see, I think my biggest problem is really trying to understand what brewhouse efficiency is and how to relate it to recipes.
Thanks everyone.
