  1.5lb 60LBoil gravity was 1.04 at 150 for 6.5gal, or 1.059. Boiled for 70 min. Final was 1.065

  I haven't read this thread through but from what you are saying in your first post, you are fly
  sparging without a proper manifold in the cooler, and are missing most of the sugars when
  rinsing. Batch...

  I could, but I don't have $160 to spend on this partiular hobby right now, plus I don't have
  the space to put it anywhere. Probably do that next year when I get a house.

  Just picked up a batch of grain from the Toy Store, the crush looks MUCH BETTER! I'm seeing far

  I'll be hitting up wmts this weekend, I'll be in the area. I'll be brewing this next batch once

  BG = 1.036 @ 130F for 6.4gal = 1.049 @ 60F. Not Awful, not amazing. Grain bill was 13.75lb. I'm
  predicting around 65% eff.edit: OG is 1.054ish. Again, seems like the calculation for gravity
  based off ...

  I think you're forgetting M3's are fun to drive. Oh no. They're just far more fun to drive on
  the racetrack than the highway ;)

  I wish I could go to the winemaker's toy store... but it's a good 40 mile round trip for me,
  and that's IF I take the toll way... which is probably about equal to shipping from AHS (The M3

  So what efficiency did you get?I'm guessing it went up considerably, and will creep up a bit
