Still dialling in my numbers on my 2 gallon batches.
But after my latest batch, a Brown Porter, with a 1.8kg grain bill, BeerSmith is giving me an actual mash efficiency of 90%.
This is with a 90 minute mash with vigorous stirring every 15 mins (90 mins includes a 10 min mash out at 75.6C) and a very strong squeeze of the bag. Grain absorption is around 0.43 fl oz per oz of grain.
Also, the grain was milled by a shop that offers finer milling for BIAB and the operators there brew using BIAB themselves, so I trust the crush was optimal too.
It seems very high and I'm a little hesitant to plan my next recipe on the basis of these numbers unless I'm certain I can be consistent with this.
