I do 5 gallon, all grain batches. I batch sparge (10 minute rest, sparging at about 163*) but have the equipment to fly sparge. My efficiency with my set up has always been low (about 65%), I'd like to change that.
I've been adjusting some things with my techniques and its been helping hit my temps much better lately. The real problem is that I only hit my gravity numbers about 1/4 of the time, sometimes missing by as much as 10 points. I'd love to figure out why.
Is it the crush? (I get All my grain milled at Austin Homebrew Supply)
Maybe my volumes? I get all my numbers from beer smith, maybe need to adjust something?
Thoughts? Ideas?
Any advise is appreciated.
Cheers!
