On my latest batch, I did something I hadn't done before. After my sac. rest, I added enough boiling water to bring the grain up to 168 immediately, then let the remaining water cool to serve as sparge water.
I got about 5% better efficiency on the batch (about 75% instead of my usual 70%).
That was the only thing different from my usual method. I'm not quite certain why doing a mash out should increase efficency--any thoughts on that?
