Wanted: Mash Efficiency for Dummies

Martybhoy · Oct 14, 2017

Does anyone have an easy calculator or website for working out what my post mash gravity should be, using only the grain bill and mash and sparge volumes?

I've tried Beersmith and Brewers Friend but I always struggle when it comes to entering mash details. I don't find them easy to follow.

Through experience I have numbers for working out what my post boil gravity and volumes a will be. But as recipes vary, I struggle to calculate what my mash efficiency will be.

Anybody got a Mash Efficiency for Dummies guide?

I use Brew Mate, which is a less sophisticated Brewers Friend

Is this the Brewer's Friend calculator that you tried?

I like this. Nice and easy. Just add your grains using the drop down menus, and it tells you your maximum possible SG (with 100% efficiency); and your predicted SG at 75% efficiency. Gives you something to aim for.

Magnus, that's exactly what I'm after, cheers.
