Hello everyone
Can somebody explain to me actual/apparent attenuation and the importance of the two?..I have a brew going now that started at an OG of 1.061..it is now 1.010 FG..i put my numbers through a attenuation calculator and it says my apparent attenuation is 83.33% and my actual is 67.83%..Im quessing the actual attenuation number is the accurate one..so why even have apparent?..just a little confusing
