So I brewed a couple batches with my brew partner Sunday. And we got crazy efficiency on both beers. Well mainly one. We usually get between 68 and 70 percent but on the ESB we got 95% and the imperial ipa we got 80%. I'm not sure why. Not that I'm complaining but our temps were good and normal and everything went super smooth. Many the crush from the lhbs was finer than usual. It did seem to be a bit finer but dang 95%

Sounds like its time for a grain mill :)

Ya, It is way up on my list. I'm just poor right now. But being that I usually buy my base grains in bulk it sure would be nice. And to have my whole system dialed in. Would a corona mill get me by untill I could get a barley crusher? I know some guys use them but didn't know if it's worth it if I plan on buying a crusher down the road.
