Hi,
I've tried to search for the topic regarding the "Mash Efficiency" in BS but haven't found nothing relevant so I'm sorry if it has been discussed already.
In BS, in Session tab of the receipt, there is a "Mash Efficiency" tab. But what it compute is NOT a mash efficiency only but "mash efficiency + lautern efficiency" as the help text on the text control with label "Meas Post Mash Gravity" says "Gravity of wort as measured after mash and boil top up, but before sugar/extract additions". This is wrong I think, because the mash efficiency should measure *ONLY* the mash efficiency and no other stuff like lautering.
I would propose, that "Mash Efficiency" would take the reading after the mashing but before the lautering. The total water and grain for mashing is specified for receipt and using [1] it is easily computed. Then I would add/(replace "Volume and Gravity in Boiler" with) lautern efficiency computation so I can measure it too.
With these changes I could perfectly measure mash, lautern and brewhouse efficiency.
What do you think?
Thank You
