Just curious why there is so much talk of efficiency on these forums?
For my brewing purposes I got into all-grain because it seemed like a slam dunk money saver over buying craft brews. A corona mill pays for itself by allowing to buy barley in bulk. I figure my consumables run the equivalent of $2.50/ 6-pack when I home brew.
So if I'm running at 60% efficiency should I really care (I don't really know what my efficiency is.) To gain another 15 or 20% in efficiency - how much money will that translate to?
I guess I'm just wondering if I should bother worrying about my efficiency and trying to improve it - or if that's just one of those things that concerns the serious homebrewers.
