I've found recently in the last say 5 batches as I hone my technique I've had better efficiency with longer mash times. I just wondered being a new AG brewer is or are there things that longer mash times may impart that I don't know. All the beers I've made with the longer times have been crowd pleasers and very tasty so it make me thing that mashing in longer has worked but is there something I could be missing. Any advice would be great. I've also started Dbl sparging and I use beersmith for my calculations.
