How to Use This Calculator
- Take a pre-boil gravity reading and enter it along with pre-boil volume in gallons.
- Enter total grain weight in lbs and the max potential points for your grain bill.
- Review Mash Efficiency (%), Actual Points Extracted, and Points Per Pound.
- Use the efficiency reading to adjust your next recipe's water-to-grist ratio or crush gap.
