I still dont toally understand how to calculate mash efficiency when doing a partial mash. I just got done brewing and I am very happy, I hit the OG# that the calculator I was using said I would, I just dont know how to calculate the efficiency of the mash. I used 4 lbs of DME, as far as the grains they were
3 lbs of British 2-Row
.5lbs of Belgian Biscuit
.5lbs of Belgian Choc.
6 oz of Belgian Special B
and I added 4 oz of lactose
Boiled 3 gals, and batch was 5.5 gals total.
OG was 1.052 the online calc I used to make the recipe had this # as the OG so I figure I was around the 75% they say, I just dont understand how. Oh well at least I think I had decent effciency.
