PP/Contrarian, PP, Makes sense and does help. I'll take the readings as suggested on the next brew, and your post answers a question about dilution for a higher OG I was about to ask! Next brew I'll post the Biabacus file for perusal. The point Contrarian makes regarding the acidulated malt also may...

Contrarian, The confusion is that there is often poor distinction between mash efficiency which is looking at how you are converting starches to sugars. This is also measured by looking your gravity into boil GIB. If this is lower than you are expecting them the problem is with something to do with ...

Cheers boys for the replies, Please don't think I'm ungrateful for the replies but to be honest it feels like a huge can of worms has burst its lid! To be clear, what I was talking about was the gravity reading taken after the boil (GAW, unless I'm mistaken). I then plugged this into brewersfriend e...

Hi PistolPatch, Think the only thing you've missed is the sheet music to a Twelve Days of Christmas! Got 4 brews in so far - the post was regarding the new urn really. I have found that the fluctuations in measurements does vary on the ones I've done and I guess the post was a little bit of frustrat...

I'll take a look at that. Brewed a batch of bitter on Sunday with a bit of a bigger grain bill based on revised efficiency in biabacus, mashed longer and a few good stirs. Hit about 70% this time which has slightly overshot my starting gravity! Think it's a case of tinkering over the next few brews ...

Cheers Bundy, I've not really delved into ph, small steps and all that, but I'll have a look at it so thanks for the numbers. Didn't think it was the urn so much as maybe a secret technique known only to biab old hands haha. Anyhow, it's fermenting away so I'll see what the final figures are - I rec...

Efficiency with Buffalo urn

Hi all, I'm after some advice. I'm a newbie to brewing and have a couple of micro brews under my belt using a 15 litre stockpot yielding between 8 and 9 litres into the fermentor. Pretty decent results in my opinion and managed around a 60% efficiency based on brewers friend efficiency calculator. I...
