So I just bought a grain mill in hopes of getting a better and more consistent efficiency. My question is how tight is your mill set and what is your average efficiency? Are you milling once or twice? Any info is appreciated
Thank you. Are you guys using a feeler gauge to set the gap?

I'm back with results... 2 weeksago I did 5 gallon batch with 21lbs of grain and got an efficiency of 66%. Today with my new grain mill set at .083" with a double crush I did a 5 gallon batch with 20lbs and got an efficiency of 78%.
.083 or .033? .083 seems a bit wide to me...
Tooblue02 here is my crush
Wow...I am still sitting at the low 70's efficiency. I need to either tighten up my .037 or double crush. Or figure out a million other things.
What grain mill are you using?
Did my Red Ale, and went from 69.4% to 82.0% today gotta love a jump like that!! PS: Only change was running the grains through the mill twice.
