HBT-
I have had a recurring problem with all my beers having a "mash tun" or "wort" odor, and I can't for the life of me get a crisp/clean finish. I went to the LHBS and asked an employee. He asked what my efficiency was (80-88% in my RIMS). He said that was my problem. Too high efficiency carries over un-fermentables and off favors. I have scoured the posts here for the past few months and can't find anything that says high efficiency is bad. Is this guy an idiot?
