I've been reading a LOT about how to determine your grain bill for your AG recipe and I was wondering which was the best way for you to get a grip of this (without any internet recipe site)
At first, I read the 80% base malt and 20% specialty grains then, in my first AG the efficiency was as low as 64%, then I did a little more research in here and found out about the SG and the gravity points and found this thread
Grain Bill Hand Calc - Extraction% & Brewhouse%
So, I was wondering, as a more experience homebrewer, which is the way to go?
thanks in advance
Cheers!

Let's try this in SG units. You want 1.053 SG (13 Plato) in 15 gallons of wort.
15 gal * 53 = 795 gravity points.
Now you figure your malt bill out so that it adds to that many points. A pound of Pale 2-row is 36 points. Let's saw brewhouse efficiency is 75%, so that pound is now 27 points.
795 points / 27 per pound= 29.4 pounds of Pale 2 row.
