The last time I tried brewing a stout via the AG method, my efficiency sucked--actually needed 3# of DME to make it up--and my color was off. I love stouts but am afraid to brew another AG stout. On that note, after the money I've spent on the barley crusher, the burner, the big stainless pot, etc, SWMBO would kill me if she caught me doing an extract batch anytime soon.
I don't get it. This issue should be across the board if it's a beginners extraction problem. The efficiency of pale ales I've done, including the one last night, have been right on target--all target gravities met. In fact I was 0.006 higher that target on the pale ale last night...
So, is there some trick to doing a stout that I might be missing?
