brewers friend vs know recipe

actech · Feb 16, 2016

I just punched in Yoopers house pale ale in brewers friend and it says it has an og 1.025 and abv of 2.52??? 152* mash using 1056 yeast ??? What did I do wrong? Always seemed right on extract recipes. I'll be doing all grain as soon as GF arrives. The first few known recipes but wow I'd need 20# grain just to get 5% the way its working for me to make my own?????

I just punched it in and got really close to the posted OG, etc. What do you have for the efficiency? (mine is set to 72%)

Try again.
I just got 6.21% ABV at 5.25 gal. and 5.93% at 5.5 gal. I had to get to 12.95 gal. to get to your 2.52%.

Do you have it set as an All-grain recipe? And a reasonable efficiency of something like 70-75%?

Did you change the one parameter from extract to BIAB/all-grain?

*EDIT* Dang, seconds too late! Yooper beat me to the punch...
