First Batch Sparge - Efficiency Guess?

Post by tcguzzler »

I'm planning to try batch sparging for the first time Saturday. Anyone have a suggestion for a first guess batch sparge efficiency if I have been getting 85% when fly sparging in the past?

Batch Sparge

If you collect similar volumes, you should get close to your typical efficiency.

I'd probably round down for the first one, just for a little insurance.
Plan on 75-80% but keep some extra hops on hand in case you get 85%.

I get 80% efficiency from my batch sparge system, but I know at least 3 people who hit 85% regularly.
