I have been brewing mainly pommy bitters, a couple of wheats & a stout all up 14 Ag's.
With my setup keep cool mash tun with braid I have worked out on beersmith that I get 80% efficientcy
Recently I did my first APA using 1272 yeast attenuation 72 - 76%
4.5kg ale malt
munich 0.5kg
crystal 200g
OG was 1050 FG after 2 weeks was 1015 - 1014 69-70% attenuation
I used 1.5litre starter with a stir bar, refrigerated then poured off & pitched, it took 24 hours to get a good krausen on it slow start
Fermented at 18c & after primary it dropped to 16 -15c
I then poured an American brown on the cake both were no chilled OG was 1050 only got 69% eff ? was after1057
Ale malt 5kg
crystal400g
wheat500g
It took off really early krausen went through the lid racked off after 3 days same as the apa & it was 1012 1011 75% attenation
I recon its done but will leave it for a week, temp was high though at 20 -22c initally but is now at 18c
so my questions are do bigger grain bills effect youre efficientcy & does temp effect youre attenuation
