When I create or modify a recipe for my system, I take that all that into account and can generally predict fairly closely the anticipated efficiency.Welcome those of the fermentation persuasion!īefore making a post, read our posting guidelines I use kind of a goofy method to determine mash thickness, which plays a significant part, but I generally keep it between 1.5 and 2.0 qt/lb. Even with the same recipe, sourced from the same ingredients, you can have some variance.įor example, I started assuming the standard 70% and for the most part, my brews were within acceptable differences, but because I keep meticulous records, I now know that I can reliably hit about 74% for most standard beers, ~70% for 50% wheat or very strong beers and 78% for session beers. So far with Beersmith set to the default 70 this is what my measured results have been Black IPA - 76.2 - Beersmith Est 84 Apple Hefe - 83 - BS Est 84 (grain bill was half of what it should have been) La Petite - 75.1 - BS Est 86.7 Lemon Drop Hefe - 70 - BS Est 84 So figuring I get about 75 mash efficiency on average, I set the BS Brewhouse (Total. Even then, there are some variables you don't have as much control over water quality, ambient temperatures, humidity, etc. The efficiency setting on your Robobrew equipment profile was input/set by whoever made that profile or last changed that setting. The efficiency is a user-inputted setting. Over time, you'll be able to accurately predict efficiency with your system for a specific recipe. To elaborate on this, OP, Beersmith is a calculator and it does not make predictions about efficiency. You should certainly pay attention to it, and make small adjustments accordingly.
Useful for all grain beer brewers to calculate their actual efficiency at extracting sugars from the grain during the mash. Gauging efficiency with 100% accuracy is not something you can really do from one brew to the next. Reports beer mash extraction efficiency in percentage terms and points per pound per gallon (ppg).
