Hi All
Although I have been brewing for some time, I still have not grasped the efficiency calculation thing. SWMBO tells me I am slow to pick things up and I think she is right.
Anyhow, I racked a extract version of my High Head Honey Blonde last night and am now trying to crack this thing.
Ingredients
Amount Item
3 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM)
3 lbs 4.8 oz Pale Liquid Extract (15 min)
1.00 oz Cascade (60 min)
1.00 oz Mt. Hood (60 min)
0.50 oz Saaz (10 min)
0.75 oz Saaz (5 min)
0.30 tsp Irish Moss (10.0 min)
8.0 oz Honey
6.00 gal Poland Spring Water
1 Pkgs SafBrew Ale (DCL Yeast #S-33)
The Estimated OG should have been (according to Beersmith) 1.044
My measured OG was 1.040
So, what would my efficiency be on this?
BTW.. The estimated FG was 1.012
My FG was 1.012!!
