So, I'm a 10 year AG brewer who recently made a new manifold for his mashtun with 1/2" cpvc and installed it an the igloo "cube". I was previously using the easy masher with about 75% efficiency. Since the beginning of this new manifold i've brew 3-4 batches and my efficiency is about 55% - 65...

I haven't been brewing as much as I use to and was wondering if my two row barley and other specialty grains are getting to old to use (12 months to 18 months old). I keep them in the garage in plastic storage bins with tight fiting lids and the specailty grains in 1 gal. zipp lock bags. I was...
