Ok. My second all grain is coming up. Cut up keg HLT , 70 qt Coleman mash tun keggle bk. I used way to much water on my first batch and efficiency was terrible. My next beer is an IPA. It calls for mashing in with 6 gallons then batch sparging with 4 gallons. This is a 5 gal recipe btw. My boil off is only 1 gal an hour. Grain absorption was maybe 1/2 gallon last time. Very little tun loss.
Could I 1: use less water to come to 6-6.5 Pre boil or
2: boil for 1-1/2 hours then start my hop additions after 30 minutes of boil.
Thanks
