I readjusted my mill gap and removed my false bottom. Brewing under new conditions always has an educated guess as to where numbers will be.
I'm doing biab and letting it drip. 12 gallon batches. I had 31lbs of grain. By the time I came up to boil, the bag was still dripping pretty good. I know I left a good quart, up to a half gallon behind. I either need to let it continue to drip throughout the boil, or squeeze. I dont mind squeezing, and is probably the route I'll take, but what are the disadvantages to letting wort continue to drip throughout the boil?
Also, my boil off was over by a half gallon. I calculated 1.25 and ended up with 1.75. Missed final estimated volume by about a half gallon.
In the end, calculated efficiency was only off by .002. I think it was more by luck with as much that was off.
