Second all grain brew last night. I made the Guy Fawkes Pale ale. Basically it was edworts pale ale, with an extra lb of 2 row pale to make up for my lack of efficiency, which I think I calculated out to be 65% brewhaus last time and about 71%post boil. I am still very confused about calculating efficiency, but using this calculator http://www.brewersfriend.com/brewhouse-efficiency/ I It tells me I got an efficiency of 84.45%! That is from the pre-boil sample with had a gravity of 1.054. The sample I cooled of post boil wort had an OG of ~1.062! Does about an 85% efficiency seem accurate? Recipe is
9lbs pale 2 row
2 lbs vienna
8 oz crystal 10L.
Any help is appreciated I am in the process of soaking in Kaiser's and Bobby M's guides to efficiency, I just havent quite figured it out yet.
edit: Here is what the calculator gave me.
Gravity at 100% Efficiency: 1.063 - max
Gravity at 75% Efficiency: 1.047
Brew House Efficiency: 84.45%
Points / Pound / Gallon (ppg): 30.9
Ps: I'm not just a cheapass who won't buy beersmith, I would love to have it, it just did not appear to have a mac version!
