So I'm just in the first 10 minutes of my first all grain boil and I'm calculating my brewhouse efficiency. Details below:
6 lbs - English marris otter
2 lbs - flaked barley
1 lb - roasted barley
Pre-boil volume: 6.25 gal
Pre-boil gravity: 1.045
According to a couple web calculators, I'm getting around 86%. Is that possible? Or maybe a better question; is that likely? I hit all of my temp targets except my dough in temp where I was about 1 deg off at the start and after 60 minutes I dropped 5 deg.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong - maybe I'm not - any ideas?
