Just for grins, I threw this into BeerSmith, set up with mostly defaults.
I show you need 87% efficiency to get 1.069.
You're stuck at 51% with 1.041.
Based on experience, other recipes, and actual results, these figures appear accurate.[/QUOTE
Agreed.
I reset all defaults and you guys are right. Man do I ever feel better knowing I was at least mid 50's Thanks guys!
