OK, I couldn't get Marris Otter last year so the shop subbed in Golden Promise. The GP has worked well and I've averaged 88% efficiency with my system and a thin mash 1.4qt/lb.
I brewed an old ale with Marris Otter grain and some wild hops yesterday, and at 85% efficiency, I should have hit 1.071. I got 1.052.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have a couple of bags of GP and one bag of MO, but I'm planning my strong scotch ale in AG for the first time (at home anyway) and would like to use the MO but am worried about the 65% effeciency I saw yesterday!! (actually planning a party guile)
Anyone experienced a lower efficiency with MO?
