Sorry if moderators feel that this is the wrong forum, but I keep getting different efficiency calculations from two different sources and I'm curious if anyone can shed some light on why. When I pump in my preboil gravity and volume into iBrewmaster, I get 80% efficiency. If I pump those same numbers into brewers friend (http://www.brewersfriend.com/brewhouse-efficiency/), I get 73% efficiency. What gives?
For what it's worth, I really want to have the lowered efficiency. I have been battling some nasty astringency issues. If anyone is curious of my numbers here they are:
Gravity 1.050
Volume (preboil): 8.9
Grain is is as follows
13.5 lbs 2 row
1 lb german light munich
1lb Victory
1 lb carastan.
Any thoughts?
