Hey all,
New guy to the forum, working on my 5th all-grain batch. I'm brewing a brown ale and trying to figure out what is going on with my efficiencies. I checked and rechecked my math, my inputs and everything else and it all checks out. I double checked the calibration of my hydrometer and even had two pairs of eyes on the reading.
My OG is supposed to be 1.054. The recipe determined pre-boil gravity should have been 1.044 and the actual pre-boil is 1.056. That puts my conversion efficiency at 136% and my pre-boil efficiency is 96%.
How do I have a conversion efficiency over 100%???? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance!
