Recipe Estimates

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

The last 2 batches brewed using Great Western 2 Row has not hit any of the pre and post boil numbers based on the editor. My BIAB process has not changed. I even lowered the efficiency and I still fell short. Is it the grain not as convertible as the estimate? I am at a loss.

Are you using the selection from our catalog or as a custom malt? I can check the specs on that.

I entered the malt in my inventory by using the catalog and not custom.

I checked the stats we have, and they seem right for what you have in your recipe:

Are you finding that the OG is significantly lower, and only with this malt? I can dig into it further if there is a different profile from Great Western. I did see on their website that they only list ‘premium two row’ now, so you could try using that choice, although the profile is very similar:

Yes it's just that malt. I will not but it again. Thanks for looking into it. Merry Christmas!!

hello Yooper, I fail to hit the pre-boil gravity in my last brewing session in a big number, i also noticed that the pre-boil was relatively high vs the estimated OG (1.084 / 1.095)
how the system calculate the pre-boil gravity?
thx, Ben

Can you provide your recipe, and measurements for the following?

Preboil volume, and preboil SG
Postboil volume and OG

Hi Pricelessbrewing
were you able to review the recipe and the brew-day details?

Hi Pricelessbrewing
were you able to review the recipe and the brew-day details?

For some reason I'm just seeing this. I'll get with @Pricelessbrewing and see what is going on. Thanks for your patience.

Hey Yooper,
any news about that issue
i brewed another batch since then, same wrong pre-boil estimate of the gravity
late addition of sugar was also ignored.
Thank you,
Ben

The pale ale malt- is this a Castle Malt?

In any case, it all looks good. I wonder if your efficiency is just higher than you have in the recipe, as you're only boiling off about half a gallon, and there seems to be really good efficiency.
I looked, and the late addition of sugar is being added- an extra 5 gravity points appears from it.

the pale ale is: Dingemans - Belgian Pilsner Malt
how many points are calculated for the boil?
is it calculated by time? so after 60 minutes less gravity points than after 90 minutes?
