So, I am losing about 7ish points of Efficiency in between my Sparging and the boil. Here are the specifics.
Into the Boil Kettle I had a Gravity of 1.056 with 7.55 Gallons of Wort. This relates to a pre Boil Efficiency of 80.71%. After the Boil I had 5.60 Gallons of Wort with an OG of 1.068. This realates to an actual Batch Efficiency of 72.70%. Only reason this bothers me is that when I first started AG'ing, I was getting an efficiency number of about 64%. I tweaked a few things, and I started getting around 80%. But ever since I have changed my Mash Tun, I have been getting lower and lower numbers with every batch. I know though that it can't have anything to do with the Mash tun as my Efficiancy numbers are on as far as Pre Boil. So then, WTF? Can anyone here explain to me as to shy I would be losing some efficiency during the Boil?
