If you are getting 83% that would mean that the beers OG was higher than it should be based on your recipe. In this beers case you were lower than your anticipated OG.


My mash efficiency was 83%. My brewhouse efficiency was 68%. When you guys talk percentages, are you talking brewhouse?

Question with Dry Hopping:

I just tasted my pale ale yesterday. My FG is at 1.012. Giving my ABV at 6.3%. It tastes pretty damned incredible. I am going to dry hop and i'm curious at the suggestions.

I have .33 oz of citra pellets and .25 oz of cascade pellets and i have the following whole leaf hops.



I think i know the answer to this, but would whole leaf hops give any better flavors than pellet? I know that pellet is higher alpha acid, so i think i already know that you'll get stronger flavors from pellet hops. Also, of the hop varieties i have, what would you dry hop with?

To be honest I have no idea what the difference is?
