I have a bizarre problem. I recently moved and just now got my brewery up and running. For my first two batches I am somehow ending up with almost a full gallon extra runoff after the sparge. The only thing that has changed is my the water I am using and Midwest Supplies has a new grain mill setup. Other than that, nothing has changed. Can the crush somehow affect water absorption by the grain? Can water chemistry somehow have an affect on this problem? I'm stumped.
I mash at about 1.3 qt/lb in a Colemen Extreme 36 qt cooler.
