Does Delayed brewing effect efficiency?

no, but you don't want to wait too long (over say a month) from the crush date. The grains will start to get stale.

I used to buy my grain precrushed from my LHBS before I got my Barley Crusher. I'd go when it was convenient and wait 2-3 weeks before brewing sometimes. I never really tasted any "staleness". I wouldn't wait more than a month though.

Yeah, I'm not really sure about staleness being the right word. I'm not even sure what the effect would be. But I do know that it's not good to let crushed grains hang out too long before brewing.

That short of a time should be fine, for the people who order pre-crushed kits online that would be the normal time from crush at the store to brew. I would find something else to worry about.

I guess I'm trying to justify a couple batches with low efficiency.. I need to get a barley crusher anyway.. I was just wondering if it did actually many any real difference
