Recently I've been having efficiency issues, and I'm trying to figure out why. I used to get 75-80% efficiency with ease, and lately I haven't been able to get there. I fly sparge, and I sparge very slowly, so I know I'm not doing it too fast. As soon as I noticed consistent problems I immediately checked my grain crush, and I'd say that it is adequite, so I'm just about ready to rule that out. I normally mash around 152-154 degrees and sparge with 180 degree water. During my mash I stir it 30 minutes in, and I have also not done that, just to see if results vary. Is there something I'm not looking at that is causing my low efficiency?
