Trying to get a handle on my numbers to plug into BeerSmith and other calculation programs. Here are my BIAB numbers, need help understanding what they actually mean.
5G (fit in my soda keg) target batch Hefeweisen
6.5# Wheat, 3# Pils, .25# Melanoidin
7.25 G gal strike water, no sparge, light squeeze BIAB
6.65 G in boil kettle after mash out. Wort was 1.043 Temp adjusted
5.5 G in boil kettle after 90 min boil and wort cooled to 72F
5.25 G went into fermenter after break material was strained out. Wort was 1.049 temp corrected before yeast pitch.
I am not real sure how to use these numbers, but BeerSmith recipe told me I should see 1.049 as my OG. And I did. So I suppose I am on track.
Can a knowledgeable brewer tell me a quick breakdown of what my numbers I listed mean? THANKS!!!
