I searched but couldn't find the answer, and I think I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway.
Getting ready to do my first AG brew either this weekend or next, and I think I have everything figured out except for how to guesstimate my effeciency to adjust the recipe.
I understand that efficiency is calculated based on the expected fermentables compared to what I actually get out of my mash(got beersmith to do the calcs). However, that assumes that I've done at least 1 mash already, and herein lies my problem. Do I just assume a poor efficiency rate for the first AG and adjust the recipe accordingly. Or is there a common efficiency to use for the first batch until I get a few batches under my belt and have my actual efficiency dialed in.
I'm thinking I'm just gonna have to guess for the first batch and take what I get, but if there are any other suggestions I'd love to hear them
