I am trying to dial in my new rig and i am having problems with efficiency.I am using a round 10 gal cooler and just got a barley crusher(great tool btw).so here is my problem.My recipe calls for a sg of 1.067 at 75% calculated with beersmith. so, i mash and hit my temps with no prob and take a gravity reading of my first runnings and hit 1.092!!! Good so far(figured i got great efficiency...wrong). I double batch sparge with the grain bed at 168 and take gravity samples from both sparges. I then mixed all 3 samples and end up with 1.050???? I end up with a post boil temp corrected gravity of 1.054.What happened to my wort?? my grain crush is obviously good (could not have hit 1.092 with a crappy crush).What else could it be???it's driving me nuts. This is the third time in a row this happened with the same recipe. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.!
