Hi,
I've brewed a few ag batches now and I'm finding that my efficiency varies from batch to batch. Its been as low as 66% and as high as 79% (batch sparge).
My question is what do I do if I miss my target OG??
If I stick with my hop schedule that I've calculated my balance and BU:GU ratios go out of the window.
Currently I underestimate my OG (work with 70%) and then readjust my calculations (weight of hop additions) once I've collected my wort and I know the actual OG.
Is there an easier way to do this??
Cheers!
