So we are running some numbers by hand and have a question on Brewhouse Efficiency calculations...
Calculating our Extract Efficiency (Extract Yield) isn't an issue:
I have Brewhouse Eff. as,
Where cg 'as-is' = (%extract cgdb x (1-%moisture))
Calculating the Brewhouse efficiency isn't a problem with a single malt beer, but how does one calculate it with a wort which has multiple malts? If the additional malts were just a small percentage of the total malt bill, I'd just ignore them but if they are significant how do you account for them in the denominator of the equation?
To put it another way, how do you include the %extract for each malt used in the above equation?
Much appreciate the help!
Cheers.
