Effeciency Info.

Anyone know any articles that discuss increasing efficiency?

I currently fly sparge with a 5-10 minute recirculation period before my final transfer to the BK. I have an average of 65-70% efficiency which I would like to increase. I usually mash around 148-152 degrees and I use a cube mash tun.

Thanks :mug:

things to consider:

grain crush (good amount of surface area w/out being flour), sparge time (longer sparge = higher eff.)

There are so many "How to improve my efficiency" threads on this forum. Use the search function.

yeah, if you're willing to try batch sparging you may want to look up bobby's guide. or in general just look at the stickies in the all-grain section.

Double Batch Sparge. I've found it gives me 80-85% efficiency. Oh yeah and stir really good between sparges, voldorf, and drain!
