just a little celebration for myself. first AG was 61%, this one was 88%. only differences were that i sparged with more, hotter water and remembered to recirculate.
whoo-hoo.
17% rise in efficiency

How much hotter did you go? Did you mash out?

well, maybe instead of "hotter" i should have written "sufficiently hot." my sparge water was around 170 or so, as opposed to the first batch wherein i poorly timed everything and sparged with water that was probably closer to 150-160. i also was a little more patient and let my grain bed resettle after each water addition.

I guess I'll be the one to point out that 88 - 61 = 27, and not 17,
so you improved more than you thought
