My first of probably many dumb questions over the next few weeks and months.
Each of the three recipes I have brewed have an original gravity and final gravity listed. Do I assume correctly that the original gravity listed is based simply on the grain bill and efficiency I have in the system?
How much does final gravity have to do with volume in the fermentor vs my original gravity. I ask about the final gravity because I did not fully understand my equipment losses and ended up with less in my fermentor than expected. I am just trying to sort out some of the numbers since I am obviously in overload when I Iook at the brew log information.
My first three brews / Software original gravity / my measured original gravity after boil
Strawberry Blonde Ale / 1.059 / 1.057
Oatmeal stout / 1.074 / 1.072
The third was a recipe found on this site. The snapshot recipe has an efficiency of 70% which is lower than the efficiency I have and I don't know how to change it for my snapshot.
Chocolate Coffee Stout / 1.065 / 1.070
Thanks
