Hello All,
I brewed an ale yesterday and my efficiency was really bad. I ended up hitting 1.032 instead of my target of 1.062. I know why I was off so much. Thats to be fixxed on my next brew. My current problem is I am trying to calculate how much extract to boil and add to the fermenter. If I dissolve 1 LB of DME in 1 Gal of water is that 1 gravity point? Assuming 100% efficiency on malt extract? I need to bump my gravity points a little bit. I also only got 4 gallons of Wort from my process. so If I could add 1 Gallon with 1.156 SG that would even me out to 1.062 Right?
