Hi there, I recently started working out my efficiency using the how to brew book. I have confused myself beyond belief. I wonder can someone help fill in the gaps . Also I brewed and ipa and my hydrometer only reads up to 1.066. Can I use the information I have to work out or
Guess my OG .
Here is all the information I have .
13lbs pale ale malt
2lbs Munich
1lb caramunich 2
(All wayermans)
Pre boil gravity was 1.063
Pre boil volume 7.5 gallons.
Boiled down to 5 gal but hydrometer is now useless .
If I understand it right I can work out my efficiency with my pre boil gravity and volume but this gives me an efficiency of 88% !! Seems too good to be true for me.
Te formula was grain x max ppg \ volume
Any help , insight or answers greatly appreciated . Cheers
