However, I would also urge you to check the measured volumes vs estimated. Here you will find out how close your measured efficiency was to the number you had estimated in the equipment profile.īefore you brew again, you can go in and adjust your brewhouse efficiency to match your measured. If the volumes and gravities are accurate you can also compare your efficiencies under the Brewhouse Efficiency title on the Session tab. If you have entered these measured values you can now compare them to the volumes you had from your equipment profile. The most important ones are measured volumes (pre-boil, batch size) and measured gravities (measured OG, measured pre-boil gravity). If you open your recipe and go to the session tab, there are spaces to enter the measured values. Next you need to brew your beer, recording the volumes and gravities as you go. ![]() You also want to make sure the rest of your equipment profile reflects the actual volumes and losses used in your system. If you don’t know the efficiency of your system you can guess to begin with – starting with a number around 72% should get you close. In BeerSmith, the brewhouse efficiency is set as part of your equipment profile and also appears near the name on the main recipe design screen as “BH Efficiency”. ![]() Mash efficiency only measures how efficient the mash process is and not the rest of the system. Typically this is a number between 70-80% though some systems are outside that range.Īs a side note the brewhouse efficiency is different from the mash efficiency. That percentage, as measured by the OG going into the fermenter, is the overall brewhouse efficiency. Real world brewing systems don’t typically achieve the laboratory yield due to various losses, but they do achieve a percentage of the ideal number. Each malt you mash in your system has a theoretical yield or potential, usually listed as the fine grain dry yield, which is derived under laboratory conditions. Understanding Brewhouse Efficiencyīrewhouse efficiency is simply a measure of how efficient your all grain brewing system is at converting pounds (or kilograms) of grains into Original Gravity (OG) points going into the fermenter. This week I take a look at how you can use BeerSmith brewing software to adjust the brewhouse efficiency for your individual equipment setup. ![]()
