ok ive been at BIAB for a bit over a year and have done about 10 batches or so I usually hit gravities but havent looked into eff calcs. I use beersmith to get my strike vol and measurements but dont get all the eff calculations in the prgram.
my beers taste great and have been enjoying the process so here goes:
I double crush grains and do a 60min mash with good temp control in a 15G kettle. no sparge just pull and squeeze ALOT.
My recent recipe recently was a smash mosaic yellow rose
15# german pilsner malt
mosaic hops at 60, 20, 10 and flameout
my strike volume was 9.4gallons as i have a high boiloff rate and try to get about 6g in the fermenter. I usually end up with about 1 g trub at base of my fermenter due to a fine crush.
I pulled and squeezed the bag forever and got 9Gallons atnd preboil grav was 1.052
boiled all down my OG was 1.064 with 5.5 into fermenter with my regular 1g of trub included. i had about .5 gall of kettle loss and noticed my hop bag was carrying a lot of wort when i was cleaning up so my yield will likely be about 4.25-4.5g to package.
per the recipe i hit my OG but it doesnt seem that my eff calc are anywhere close ? like in the 56% range per beersmith ?
can someone help me calc eff or do i just ignore and keep on making beer that seems good to me?thx in advance!
