I used an online efficiency calculator this morning to determine how my process went and it claimed 87% efficiency. This is my second batch, so I'm a bit hesitant to start jumping for joy.
It's Beirmunchers Centennial Blonde
7.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
0.75 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM)
0.50 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM)
I gathered 6.5 gallons into the kettle and gravity was 1.043 unless I measured wrong somewhere. I grabbed a sample and let it cool during the boil before taking reading with hydro.
I'm using a rectangular cooler for MLT with 1/2" copper pipe for manifold, drilled along bottom edge. DIY Grain Crusher.
Just seems impossibly high.
