Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 26.5 liters or 7.0 gallons (could have been more too but I pulled the grain basket). Should be ~7.1 after DME addition. Was closer to 7.3.
Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (expanded wort with Grainfather, same with Brewer's Friend this time) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.074, then adding [2 lb 1.6 oz] of DME to get pre-boil gravity to 1.091. I want to maintain a 1.35 quarts per pound water to grist ratio in grainfather so need to limit malt bill to 16.5 pounds. Actually only had 75% mash efficiency and hit 1.065 pre boil gravity, then added 3 pounds of DME to get to 1.081. Also extended boil to 120 minutes to try and hit target OG target. Was able to hit 1.098.
Mash temp settled right it at ~154F
Hit 19.6 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.081 vs. 1.091 (1.077 + .014) target so ~75% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected.
Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons so boil-off tool estimates 1.099 OG.
After boil had ~6.X gallons (expected 6.0) in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
Pitched the yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 65F,
Packaged on 9/30/20, batch #47, FG was 1.016 (at 69F) which converts to 1.017 so 83% attenuation vs 71% avg. and 73% expected
Fill keg to 52.17 pounds = (1.017FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.74 (empty keg weight)
