I'm brewing up a 5g batch of BM's Centennial Blonde and I've got some questions about figuring my efficiency.
Mash in was 3g even, now I'm doing kind of a "fly-brid" sparge where-as I started a fly sparge, until I had 5.5g in the kettle, then just let the rest of the sparge water go and sit with the grains while I got the kettle on the heat, now I"m getting 2nds in a bucket.. Don't have a large enough kettle yet for a 8 gallon boil..
Question is, do I need to take samples of what's in the kettle, and what's not yet, to get accurate efficiency readings? Or just take a sample when the boil is finished..???
