I am using Beer Smith, and when I go to the efficiency details screen, it lists the efficiency based on target volume, into boiler and into fermenter.
So which number is the one that is most important to consider? I just did my first all grain batch, it went smooth, no issues, but I didn't know which number is the efficiency that all grain brewers look for.
The into boiler number was 80.12%
The number for into fermenter was 66.54%
And the number for Target volume was 64.02%.
That last one is low, but I am pretty sure I know why. I have added honey to the fermenter, but it was not included in the boil, so when I took my reading it was from the kettle, and the honey was not there. When I remove the honey from the ingredient list it takes it up to 84%.
So which number is the one I see thrown around the most?
