Why did the rabbit like NEIPA's so much?
I usually get 68-70% mash efficiency, but yesterday I brewed a saison with 35% spelt and the efficiency was a shockingly low 59%. I'm still on track for a tasty -- albeit lower ABV -- saison, but it's got me stumped. Has anyone else had this problem?
Mash ph was 5.15, so that would not seem to be the trouble. 60 mins at 151. In hindsight, maybe 90 would have helped.
I wonder if the crush was the issue? The spalt grains do look small/odd... I crush at the LHBS and it has never been a problem. But maybe I should run the spalt malt through twice or something?
