Hi all

[redarmy990]

Not sure if I am in the correct section or not, i have a brewers edge mash and boil, similar to the grainfather. Are we classed as BIAB or just all grain brewers.

I brewed last Saturday 10th February, and made a screw up, i put the corn sugar that was supposed to be in the boil at 90 minutes into the mash and mashed it for 1 hour
According to beersmith my preboil gravity should have been 1.033 but i got 1.043, given me a 104% masc efficiency haha.

My question is, Is there a calculation out there that can determine how many gravity points the corn sugar added so i can get an idea of my actual mash efficiency It was 6.8oz of corn sugar

Thanks
Brew on

Corn sugar adds 42 ppg or points per gallon per pound. A little tricky to figure exactly as you left some corn sugar in the spent mash as well.

Thanks Wilserbrewer
Was just trying to figure out if i got better than expected Gravity,( still dialing in) or if the corn sugar was the reason i got such high efficency

I guess i will just wait until i keg next week to see final numbers
