Hi all, hoping to clear up some efficiency issues.
I've just finished a pale ale, recipe as follows;
Powell's Pilsner 2.4 kg
Powell's Munich 0.80 kg
Wheat malt 0.80 kg
Caramalt 0.25 kg
Carared 0.10 kg
Amarillo 20g 60 min.
Amarillo 15g 10
Amarillo 9g 5
Cascade 6g 5
Cascade 15g 1
15 minute protein rest @ 55 Deg.
60 minute mash @64
Mashout @77
90 minute boil
BIAB 35 litre starting volume
Efficiency into the boiler was 84.6% @ 8.2 Brix (1034 SG) with a volume of 33.5 litres.
Efficiency post boil (this is were it gets funky) 72.42% @9.4 Brix or 1039 SG with a final volume of 25.5 litres.
It makes no sense to me that I can have great efficiency into the boiler, yet lousy into the fermenter.
Any thoughts?
