We're new to brewing (6 all-grain batches so far). We want to make sure we are understanding brewing efficiency.
Our most recent batch was a single hop using 24 lbs of pale 2-row malt. So - is this correct?
Theoretically, we should get 888 gravity points (24 * 37 PPG)?
After mashing and lautering/sparging we got 13 gallons pre-boil at 1.054. That is 702 gravity points. So if we measure efficiency at that time we get 702/888 = 79%.
In the fermenter, we had 10.5 gallons at 1.068. So our brewhouse efficiency would be
(10.5 * 68)/888 = 80%
Are we doing the calculations correctly?
