Ok I put on a new brew last night and on OG reading of 1060 I found that I had acheived 90% efficiency..
Here is the recipe
23L in the fermenter
5KG - Pale Ale Malt
100G - Crystal
25G - Pale Choco Malt
40G - Fuggles Plugs @ 60mins
10G - Cascade Pellets @ 30 mins
1EA - Whirlfloc Tablet @ 30 mins
10G - Cascade @ 5 mins
10G - POR @ flame out
From my beertools calc I was expecting and OG of 1050. I checked the OG at 21C and it read 1060.
I used a 1 hour mash at 64.5C and mashed out at 78C
I was expecting a 5.5% ended up with 5.9%
is a 90% efficiency just luck or can it realisticly be achieved. Would like to know so I can retrace steps and see where the error or success went.
Cheers
