So, I've been brewing for about a year now. I've got probably 10-15 brews under my belt now, and I am stumped on why I cannot get my efficiency above 65% in most cases..
I started with BIAB in my converted Keggle and would always double crush my grain but would only get about 60% efficiency if i was lucky. I've tried multiple places with multiple crushes, BMW, my LHBS Adventures in Hombrewing, and Northern Brewer.
I finally just gave up and would order an extra 2-3 lbs for each brew. I can keep doing that, but I want to reach out and see what could be the problem.
I've recently purchased a 10 gallon igloo that i've converted over to a mash tun. I have a second 5 gallon cooler that I use as a HLT and I've not broken 65% efficiency when I've hit all my numbers and check starch conversion with iodine and everything seems great.. I've used this new setup for 2 brews now, and have another one scheduled for tomorrow. But yet i cannot get better than 65% efficiency? I have no clue what i'm doing wrong!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
