I just brewed a batch. Hopville says I got 85% efficiency, but I calculate 60%.
10 pounds of malt gave me 5.7 gallons of wort at 1.053 or 13.0 plato.
My calculation: (21 kg of wort)(13% plato) = 2.73 kg of extract = 6.0 lb extracted.
6lb extract from 10lb of grain would be 60% mash efficiency. Is this correct?
