Suffered poor efficiency, this seems to be the problem. Was hoping for some verification.
Thanks

I'm not being nitpicky, this is a bad crush, right?

Well the grain that got crushed looks ok. It's the rest that look to be the problem.
Yeah, looks like you have a lot of uncrushed grain in their.

Did you crush it or did your LHBS.

Consider it verified. Adjust your mill!

It was done by a HBS. I got 56% efficiency, normally I get 70 on a very consistent basis from the same source.
Big problem.
The recipe is 23% rye so I expected somewhat of a drop in efficiency, but not 14 points... plus there's clearly intact barley.

Get a grain mill. I had the same issue with my LHBS. I'm not sure but I think rye is like wheat where you need a bit of a finer crush to get good efficiency out if it. If you just use a normal crush your not going to get numbers.
