Ok folks I'm stuck at the moment...can't get past this one thing.
Trying to determine my Brew House efficiency for my brew equipment. My last brew I set it at 68 % in the equipment profile. I got
Estimated Mash Efficiency : 68%
Measured Mash Efficiency: 67.9%
Total Brew House Eefficiency of 68%
Measured Total Brew House Efficiency : 71.1%
I think these numbers came from:
Estimated batch size of 5.25g
Estimated OG 1068
when I actually got:
Measured batch size of 5.0g
Measured OG 1075.
I liked how my numbers came out with this equipment profile, yet maybe alittle squiwed due to the measured batch size.
SO----
Todays brew is confusing. For some reason I thought I could achieve a 70% total brew house efficiency, so I increased it fro 68% to 79%. Unfortunately I also added a second change. Changed loss to trub and chiller to 1.5g compared to 0g in previous equipment profile.
Estimated Mash Efficiency : 94.5% (where does this number come from??)
Measured Mash Efficiency: 62.5% (didn't even get 68%)
Total Brew House efficiency of 70%
Measured Total Brew House Efficiency : 52.2 (What??)
Estimated batch size of 5.25g
Estimated OG 1096
when I actually got:
Measured batch size of 5g
Measured OG 1080
My mind is so blown with numbers right now. But first of all where does the estimated mash efficiency number come from and how do I change it?
I also think I should leave my brew house efficiency at 68%??
Any help would be appreciated in an attempt to work through this.
Thanks.
