I basically only make British inspired ales and go for something close to Burton on Trent water profiles. I use these values to control my PH using gypsum, baking soda, Epsom salt and calcium chloride. I also found out the exact water report for the water I use (Costco water made by Niagara water in my case). In general unless recipe specific I now run at 152F and last ten minute I run at 170F. Making these changes did help my efficiency a little, but it was not an amazing leap.maybe 10% better.Īnother Internet teachings was temperature and also mash PH as well as DP.
#Brewhouse efficiency beersmith full
There is still quite a bit of fine grain slop at the bottom when I transfer to fermenter and I probably lose somewhere around a half gallon due to that.sometimes a full gallon. On small grains like torrified wheat or black patent either there is no hull or the grain is so fragile it would be destroyed anyway. There is quite a bit of dust, but the hull integrity is good enough. These clock settings are facing the handle side and obviously the opposite setting is on the other side of the mill knob. I started with the factory setting which is 12 o'clock and 14 batches later I have settled on around 1:30 o'clock for "big grains" and around 2:30 o'clock from "small grains". So first off I followed the popular Internet advisements first I played with my mill settings. Specifically in brewersfriend, I am using the pre-boil mash efficiency number you can only see when your recipe is read-only and the fermenter based brewhouse efficiency which is the total process efficiency number you get at the end in your fermenter OG reading versus what brewersfriend expects in the read-write recipe. When i say efficiency I mean two different things. I searched the Internet high and low for comments and thoughts on efficiency while on my journey. I also welcome additional comments on how I might get even more efficiency from my setup. I created a reddit account just to make this post to hopefully help those like me who are struggling like I was. I started my homebrewing adventure head first and started all grain brewing with this system so probably a lot of my newbie revelations will seem obvious to the more experienced. First of all, I would like to congratulate all those folks that post 75% and 85% type efficiencies right out of the gate with their Anvil system I am not one of those people.
