ProMash Tour - Brewing Session, Mash Efficiency


Determining Mash Efficiency can be one of the most important tasks a brewer can perform. By Accurately determining efficiency, the brewer is able to adjust yields accordingly in formulating recipes for an accurate OG prediction time after time.

The Efficiency Calculator in ProMash is the most advanced available. By allowing you to specify Wort Volume and Wort Gravity together, ProMash eliminates the 'perfect world' problems of determining efficiency with gravity readings only, allowing you to determine mash efficiency at any stage of the brewing process, from Pre-Boil to Post-Boil.

Additionally, if you take the gravity reading of wort in the fermenter, wort losses from the Kettle to the Fermenter must be taken into account, as those losses contain sugar and must be accounted for in the efficiency calculation. ProMash does this all automatically for you.

ProMash will also tell you extraction rates of every portion of the mash and is also the only program to properly convert gravity to extract for the determination (as pppg is not linear across SG ranges and some variance will occur because of this).
