BYO lists their brewhouse efficiency at 65% for all recipies.
What do you guys and gals do when your efficiencies are much greater? Do you adjust / scale the recipe for the higher efficiency?
For example, I mash in a voile bag and the grains are crushed quite fine. I have no worries about anything getting stuck and there is zero loss in the mash tun. Sparing is easy with the bag and I run-off until I reach my target boil size.
When boiling, I hop in a 200 micron bag, so there's nothing left in the kettle.
I estimate my efficiency at 80+ due to the mash and hopping in a bag.
I plan on brewing the BYO May / June Rogue Shakespeare Stout clone and wondering if I should adjust the recipe for my systems efficiency.
