Several times now I have brewed the same recipe without any changes, yet I have noticed the flavor contributions of my dark malts varies. My mash temps have not changed by more than 2 degrees F, I have kept my mashing and sparging techniques consistent along with boil times and hop additions. I have no changed my mineral additions and have been using the same source for water (commercial RO from the same store). My grains have come from the same shop. All of my brewday numbers are consistent, I would not say identical but I think that 2 or 3 gravity points would not be the smoking gun here.
I am out of ideas on the cause for this variance amongst my brews. Any ideas on how to improve utilization and flavor contributions from dark malts, or just make them more consistent?
