I downloaded a trial copy of Beersmith. It looks cool but I'm not sure how much I would use it.
Anyhow, I just finished an all grain brew. I punched the numbers into Beersmith to see what my efficiency was. It shows three different numbers.
Actual efficiency: 95.36 %
Efficiency into Boiler: 79.96%
Efficiency as calculated from actual Volume: 75.49%
When I punched my numbers/ingredients into a couple of online calculators I got a totally different number. (Somewhere in the 80s. I don't remember the exact number.)
So... Which number should I use if someone asks about my efficiency?
