I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?
I am completly ignorant with efficiency and need a very high level explaination. I have beersmith so I don't need to know all of the math behind it but how do I figure out efficiency?
To get efficiency do I take a gravity reading pre-boil and post boil and compare it to what Beer Smith tells me 100% efficiency would be?
Do I adjust recipes based on what my efficiency is? If so what do you do for the very first batch?
Honestly I have no clue so don't think you'll offend me by talking too simple.
I'm looking to make the switch to all grain post xmas and I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I jump in.
