Tomorrow I am brewing an AiH kit for a shandy and I noticed that they assume an efficiency of 70%. Rather than follow their simple instruction sheet, I wanted to play with it in BS. Mashing 8lbs of grain and a using lb of corn sugar in the boil at my previous efficiency is going to yield an OG 12 points higher
Keep in mind, there is a difference between brewhouse efficiency, and mash efficiency. I get around 83% mash efficiency, on average, but my brehouse efficiency, is closer to 75%. Brewhouse efficiency takes into account your mash efficiency, volume into fermenter, volume @ packaging.

thanks again for your help guys. My shandy was more or less a success even if I had to adapt on the fly. I ended up making 6 gal at least out of that 5 gal batch even leaving a half gallon in the kettle. I hit the OG right on thanks to yalls help.
One thing I can say about BS is when you get your equipment dialed in, it is pretty damn accurate. I am glad I didn't rely solely on the standard recipe instructions alone.
Another bright spot is now I get to use my new kegerator as a fermentation chamber and will be kegging my first beer in a couple weeks. I am very excited to not have to bottle this batch!
