Anyone ever get 90-93% brewhouse efficiency with BIAB?
These were my results on my last 2 batches only (that are currently still fermenting - one prior thread mentions possible astringency with very high BIAB effeciencies). I was previously getting 75-78% effeciency but switched from a 60 minute mash and a single sparge to using an 80 minute mash and 2 (each 1/2 mash volume) sparges.
I'm planning to get a refractometer as a means of confirming that the numbers are true mash/sparge efficiency and not just spurious numbers from other factors. But in the meantime, has anyone else ever gotten such high numbers?
