I've been brewing all grain for about 8 months now, approximately 20 batches (@ 5 gallons). I've had OG's ranging from 1.040 to 1.190 and have always hit around 75% efficiency.
Recently however, I've been brewing smaller batches (2-3 gallon) and my efficiencies have gone down pretty substantially. The last 2 small batches I mashed only hit about 62% efficiency, but I haven't modified my process. Could this be an issue relating to lack of enzymes? Is diastatic power calculated cumulatively (IE does it go down with smaller grain bills/batch sizes)? Thanks for your ideas!
