I currently use a 5 gallon cooler with a false bottom and batch sparge. I am changing over to a 10 gallon cooler, false bottom and batch sparge. The crush will stay the same.
Any guesses as to a change in efficiency? I will be trying my first recipe in the 10 gallon tomorrow and don't quite know what to use for a system efficiency. With the 5 gallon I would usually hit in the high 80's so I don't know if I should just use those numbers when calculating my grain bill or undershoot it a little and worst case I will end up with a little higher OG beer than I wanted.
Any thoughts?
