Today I made an all grain brew. Ten UK pounds of crushed pale malt were mashed at 67.5 deg C in six UK gallons of water. After one hour I ran off the liquor fly sparging with a further three UK gallons of water. The last runnings were 6.0 Brix = 1.015 SG. After boiling 30 minutes without hops and 60 minutes with various hop additions I ended up with 5.5 UK gallons with a BRIX of 10.0 which is approx 1.040 SG. Can anyone tell me what this is in efficiency terms, and assuming best possible expected efficiency, how much more SG could I attain. Many thanks.
