My first AG was not perfect. I missed temps pretty bad on the mash with the target temp being 152 for 60 minutes but ended up dropping to around 145. Other than the temp issues, which I hope to get worked out on my next run, everything else ran smoothly.
I mash in a 50qt Coleman Cooler and boil in a 7.5 gal kettle and batch sparged.
Keep in mind I'm not even sure if I have the right formula to figure efficiency but here's my calculations:
10.5lbs of Grain
8lbs Pale 2 row - 38ppg
2lbs Vienna - 35ppg
8oz Crystal 10 - 35ppg
Pre-Boil Wort OG - 1.051
Wort collected - 6.5 gallons
8lbs x 38ppg = 296
2lbs x 35ppg = 70
.5lbs x 37 = 17.5
383.5/ 6.5 = 59
51/59 = 86%
What am I missing here? There's now way I got that high of efficiency
