How do people risk wort quality to gain eff. though? That is the part that my simple mind cannot understand. I keep hearing it, but I have never head anyone explain how.
So far I have only heard about extended sparging, which hurts wort quality. Cmon. You are telling me that the difference between a guy getting 65% eff. and 85% eff. is a gallon of dilute 1.008 wort? I dont think the math supports that. Other than oversparging, what are brewers doing that is hurting thier wort quality?
I would agree that oversparging will hurt wort quality, but oversparing isnt going to increase your eff. either, still no correlation.
