I just meant for you to set it temporarily to 100% so that you're comparing your actual points with the maximum possible. In other words, the 83% figure I calculated above means 83% of 100% efficiency. I would definitely set your efficiency to something like 60% if you're just starting out. If it turns out that you get more than that, you can always dilute your wort to hit your OG. My first AG was terrible...I got something like 49%!
Nah, half of the process of developing software is fixing stuff and accepting criticism.
49 huh. That's what I got too
I understand comparing to 100% but when entering a lesser percentage, every value drops. I get that too. But shouldn't I still be trying to get the same OG/SG/FG at 100% and have something compensate for my efficiency? Or am I missing something really basic here and I'm just too dense
One thing that confuses me is trying to compare (OG/FG/IBU and color to this recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/bells-two-hearted-ale-clone-close-they-come-91488/
When comparing what Brewtarget gives vs the recipe some values seem a little "off". Granted they won't be the same due to some variances. But I just can't get my head around why they are so different. Or if it really matters.
One more question. Brewtarget seems to have a min & max with a selected value in the middle. However, the selected value isn't always the mean value. Why is this?
