Hi,
Wwwoooo!! 103% efficiency - except that clearly can't be right!
I can't work out where I am going wrong with my efficiency calculations / mashing.
Here is my recipe:
Water requirements:
Notes
I did get 27.1 litres pre-boil into the kettle as expected.
However, I ended up with 24 litres into the FV (instead of 20 litres).
Mashing process:
Efficiency calculations:
Gravity readings
pre boil gravity 1.0052 (27 litres)
SG was 1.062 (not 1.055 as per the recipe)
Additional Information
I weighed and measured the grains and water carefully (not drinking beer and with another person checking!).
I've checked the gravity readings using two hydrometers.
Confused!!
Any help much appreciated! This is the third beer in a row that has come out with a higher starting gravity than anticipated, so I'm clearly doing something odd.
I'm sure I need to provide more information to get to the bottom this - ready to answer any questions!!
Thanks,
JRT
