    Too much grain ending up in my boil kettle

    I recently upgraded my 10G Igloo (round) Cooler Mash Tun from braided hose to a domed false bottom (https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/fb9d.htm). My efficiency went from 60% to 80%! Awesomeness!! Anyway while running off I noticed I was getting alot of pieces of grain into my boil kettle...

    Definitely let me know how this is!

    If my final gravity finishes too high, 1.030, can I pitch a better attenuating yeast?

    Update: Checked the gravity about a month ago, it was 1.035 from 1.101 (63% attenuation) still had some activity, brought it in from the garage since we were having some mega cold weather here in Jersey. Decided today would be the day to transfer to secondary, gravity was 1.024 (75% attenuation...

    Also my mis calculation on the DME, kept me from mashing alot lowerin temperature.

    Normally, I enjoy my beers with a hint of sweetness to them but feel 1.030 would be a bit high imo. Also, I feel porters should be a bit thinner. Those two factors want me too drop the FG a bit more. I have yet to transfer, as I usually like to relax and have a homebrew! Cheers thank you for...

    Does the mashing temperature affect mash efficiency?

    Mash temperature can effect your efficiency but more so you will notice it on the back of the final gravity.

    Brewhouse Efficiency

    Was the burner cranking the whole time? Usually you judt want to crank the burner until you are boiling then turn down a bit you want a nice strong boil but not mega vigorous. The more vigorous the boil the more loss you will have.

    Your opinion on my low attenuating beer?

    I get alot of sweet flavors, almost strawberry from young s05, I know others who get that from s04, give it sometime I'm sure it'll be delicious!

    Awesome! I had a bunch of yeasts in mind but certainly didn't want to overpower the clean properties of a 2112 yeast. Thank you!!!

    I don't know why I didn't think of that...awesome thought for the future.

    I have never used cbc1, I will certainly keep that in mind!

    Mash temp was 155, I pitched the baltic porter onto the yeast cake of a cali common using the same 2112 yeast and pitched a new package of 2112, my aerating technique was pouring the wort threw a santized strainer into the fermentor.

    Do you expect to get a strong phenolic flavor from the Belgian yeast? Or do you expect the phenols to be in the background?
