are you supposed to add the malt TO the strike water, or the strike water to the malt?
i'm posting this here, because i think it's newbie kinda thing to ask....
but i started wondering why my effec plumetted because i started adding the strike water to the mash tun full of malt, helped keep my kitchen floor clean. but this batch i just dumpped all the malt into the strike water. and my effec is back up to my normal range (difference between 65% adding strike to malt, back to ~80% just dumping all the malt into strike water...)
