So I built the Rubbermaid 10 Gallon Beverage Cooler MLT based on the amazing post on this board. I then watched a video by Hokie Brew on Youtube that was an overview of the process. Anyway, my pre-boil volume was higher than what Beersmith indicated it should be and my gravity was estimated to be 1.049 and I've ended up at 1.054 @ 60 degrees F.
What does that mean? Obviously the OG will be a better indicator..does it just mean that my efficiency was higher than the 75% I've got in Beersmith? Setting up the sparge was confusing to me, but I used a fly sparge instead of a batch sparge. Could that be the difference? I was expecting to need to have DME on hand for my first AG attempt
What a great process AG is..I feel accomplished already, thanks to the good folks of this board
