| Nov 14, 2010 at 19:54 | comment | added | Morgan | there are many variables that can affect this. can you edit your post and describe your setup? stainless mash tun vs. cooler? How are you monitoring mash temperature? 60-65% efficiency on a batch sparge is pretty normal. Fly sparging usually ups it to between 70-80%. The biggest thing is achieving consistency so your brews are more predictable. | |
| Nov 14, 2010 at 18:35 | comment | added | sgwill | Are you looking for consistency, or higher efficiency? I wouldn't worry about a 65-85% efficiency; when I've pushed efficiency higher than that I've found I extract husk tannins. | |
