    Thanks to Denny (primarily) all grain extraction efficiency has improved to 85+% consistently. Since the improvement past brews have been 1.075 or less OG. Recently brewing batches with OG 1.090+ extraction efficiency has dropped to 80-85%. Mash equipment consists of 5 gallon round cooler and...
