SO my last couple batches I have been hitting very low efficiency. I am usualy .01 points lower on my SG/OG then my predicted @70% using beer smith. I have been able to hit my mash temps and my wort is very sweet to taste. But after my boils I still end up being low. I batch sparge and use a 12 gallon coleman square cooler with a mesh screen. The only thing i can think is my sparge temp is not higher enough. How important is hitting 168 on sparging? My beers are still tasting great but i feel like i have no control of my beers.
