I'm trying to understand Est Mash Eff vs. Meas Efficiency vs. Measured Mash Eff. For example, on my last brew day, I exceeded my target gravity #s. I have my BH efficiency set to 70%, because that's pretty much where I end up, for the most part. On my last brew day, after entering all data in the recipe sheet after brewing, I got the following numbers:
Est Mash Eff = 75.8%
Meas Efficiency = 59.1%
Measured Mash Eff = 46.2%
I don't understand all these numbers, especially as they relate to one another. If my estimated BH efficiency is 70%, and I met or exceeded my Estimated Pre-Boil Gravity and Starting Gravity, then I find it hard to believe that my mash efficiency really is 46.2%. I mean...that's awful, no?
