So I am new to all grain brewing and I am not getting the brew house efficiency.
With this last batch I got an efficiency of 61.55% using this calculator http://www.brewersfriend.com/brewhouse-efficiency/
Grain Bill:
marris otter 9 lb
rauchmalt 3 lb
crystal 60 .75 lb
crystal 40 .75 lb
chocolate malt .75 lb
roasted barley .50 lb
I mashed for 1 hour with 154 degree F water and then sparged with 4.5 gallon of 170 Degree F. I am using a converted cooler with a metal plumbing hose.
Any advice for getting my efficiency up to around 70%. If my brew system just has a lower efficiency how do I adjust recipes that have an efficiency of 70 - 75%?
