I just finished my third all grain batch on sunday and my efficiency blows. The first was an oatmeal stout the recipe og saaid 1.052 mine was 1.045, next was my bavarian wheat recipe og was supposed to be 1.053 min was 1.042 last was a fat tire amber clone 1.052 called for 1.038 attained. I have a ten gallon round cooler MLT tha t I batch sparge in. The process has been the same.
1.1 quarts of water per pound of grain at 153 or 154 for 60
1 gallon of boiling water for 10 ten minutes
Vorlaf and drain to the kettle
3.5 to 4.5 gallons of water at 175 ten minutes then drain to kettle.
Is my procedure wrong or might the crush be wrong? I order all my grain crushed as I don't yet have a mill. Help please
