    HBT Fantasy Football League #2

    I agree 20 teams is a bit much. But at the same time I don't feel it's fair to reduce the numbers and have to kick people who want to participate in the league either.

    Why is my efficiency so low?

    I consistently hit 80% + mash efficency. It mainly has to do with 3 things. Grain Crush.. Mash Temp.. Lauter / Sparge temp... I use basic fly sparging. Reasonable sparge time roughly 45 min to 1 hr. I never check ph. It also helps to use fresh grains and ingredients.

    Would anyone say that the safale US-05 is a bit boring?

    US-05 is a great yeast for starters. I don't believe it's you problem though. Those styles of beer do not necessary call for any great yeast profile characteristics. If you want a yeast character in your beer look into Hefe some belgain styles etc. Sounds to me you need to branch out from...
