Yesterday I bought grain from the LHBS and had them crush it there using their mill as I don't have my own. I bought over 20 lbs of grain to do two separate batches this weekend. I brewed the first batch last night and my efficiency was wayyy low at 56% (according to beer smith and my gravity readings). Now, I have access to a mill at a friends house that I've used before. Can I take the grain for my second batch over there and run it through his mill to get a better crush? Am I flirting with disaster here? I've brewed batches where my grains were crushed in his mill and gotten efficiency as high as 85% with no stuck sparges. So, I think my mash/sparge process is ok. I just don't want to brew this next batch and have it be low on efficiency and ABV. Thoughts?
