![]() ![]() Please be patient as more links will be added you have to start somewhere. Mash efficiency can be through of as the percent of potential fermentables extracted during the mashing process that actually make it into the boiler. ![]() I had a final mash efficiency of 70, which is not horrible and I was happy with these results as I was expecting it to be lower than what it was. reference materials such as BeerSmith (). Using my BeerSmith recipe, I was able to calculate with the total amount of grains and by plugging in my gravities with the volumes. What Did You Learn This Month? (4th Wed.) Brewing Tools/Information Mash efficiency only measures how efficient the mash process is and not the rest of the system. Brewhouse Efficiency is a measure of how efficient your brewing process is. Tu: Tuesday Recipe Critique and Formulation!įri: Free-For-All Friday! Monthly Threads Vendors/Potential Vendors, read this before posting Daily Threads I'm definitely entering the correct boil time, all the boil volumes and it is not even a crazy rolling boil.Īm I missing something? Why are my readings off compared to Beersmith.Welcome those of the fermentation persuasion!īefore making a post, read our posting guidelines I believe I understand the difference between mash efficiency and brewhouse efficiency, but I’m still confused as to how Beersmith calculates them. Adjust the brewhouse efficiency so the mash efficiency mirrors your IRL mash efficiency, then click on the OG-slider which is located at the bottom of the screen, and input your desired OG. Over the last 20 batches, my mash efficienty is consistently between 78-82 I'm glad I always end up with the same efficiency, and yes, I use that figure to calculate how much grain I need to get the desired OG for a particular batch. This means that you need to use more grains. tends to be a good few points higher than what Beersmith anticipates, so my Brewhouse efficiency is coming in around 82% usually. You manipulate the est mash eff by adjusting the brewhouse efficiency. ![]() Are these numbers correct? What is a good end of running gravity? Mine seems a tad high.Īlso my pre-boil gravity tends to be a few points lower than what Beersmith anticipates, but my after-boil O.G. My end of running gravity varies between 1.025 - 1.038 for beers that usually have an OG of around 1.050-1.065. My mash efficiency tends to be in the high 70's, although Beersmith says I should be hitting low 80's. I'll then add the rest of the sparge water and drain until I have my pre-boil volume. Mashed 11. I'll then add my first addition of sparge water around 75C, stir and perform a vorlauf until the grain bed has compacted and then drain off a few litres. Usually I brew a medium body beer and I'll mash in around 74C to get a step temp of about 66C, raise temp after 75 mins to around 75C and hold for 5 mins. I purposefully didnt mash-out so I could do the partigyle. A final adjustment to make is to match up your mash temperatures. I batch sparge as I have no sparge arm as of yet. My mash efficiency on the first runnings turned out to be 75 (I put the grain bill and pre-boil 1.092 and 5.85 gallons into BeerSmith2 for that). Perfecting Your Brewhouse Efficiency in BeerSmith Adjusting Your Mash Temperatures. Ok so I have been brewing with AG a little less than a year and I still can't get my head around what's going on with the gravities. ![]()
