I've been brewing all grain for almost a year now and my beer usually turns out pretty good but lately i've been paying attention to my efficiency and its been in the mid 50's. So i decided to run the grain through the mill twice for a better crush and nothing improved. mash ph was about 5.6 or 5.7 ish. i'm not too worried because i'm getting my predicted OG almost every time. anyways my main question is does efficiency really matter if i'm hitting the numbers from the recipes? Also, any ideas for improving my efficiency?
recipe is as follows
5.5# 2 row
5# white wheat
1# crystal 20L
.5# dextrine
.5# rolled oats 15min
1oz hallertau 60 min
1oz sweet orange peel 10min
3/4oz ground coriander 10min
mashed at 156F for 60 minutes, and then batch sparged with 190F water to bring it up to about 168-169F for 10 minutes
