Hey all,
In the past, i use to hit or be below 70% eff. Now that i am hitting my temps, volumes, and stirring like a mad mad am up to 80% consistently. My problem is that i ordered a couple recipes based on my old efficiency and that my beers are turning out different. I brewed a blonde ale that is more of a Pale Ale, a red thats now a brown, etc.
Tomorrow I will be brewing a Moose Drool clone and don't want it to taste like Yak Expectorate . From looking at previous threads, its looks like my options are: (1) to add top-off water after the boil or (2) collect more wort and end up with a larger volume.
What should i do? I really want to replicate it as best as i can.
70% Eff.: 1.052, 26 IBUs, 4.5% ABV
80% Eff.: 1.059, 25 IBUs, 5.3% ABV
For some reason BeerSmith says the color will stay the same, but that hasn't been the case for some of my previous beers.
Thank,
Dave
