Rather than calculating the FG, it would be more correct to estimate the FG, in fact, to determine the FG of a beer, many variables concur, often difficult to control and manage, so we can limit ourselves to estimating its value. We have always tried to find formulas that estimate this value, in truth they […]

Mash parameter

– Mash efficiency: Brewery is the result of a chemical process, of transformation of starches into sugars. For each malt we use, we know exactly its potential, that is the quantity of theoretical sugars, which we can extract. So we have a certain amount of starches, which thanks to a certain amount of enzymes, appropriately […]
