I'm still not getting much better than 66% brewhouse efficiency
Today I did this recipe for PTE:
http://www.bertusbrewery.com/2015/10/pliny-elder-40.html
BIAB using a Yeti cooler.
6 Gal recipe where I used 5 Gal to mash.
Strike Temp - 168*
Mash @ 154* for 1 hour - Cooler maintains temp very well. Squeeze bag then transfer to Kettle
2 gallons in the kettle at 170+ for dunk sparge. 10 minutes stir then lift and squeeze and discard grains.
Transfer prior wort to kettle and boil...
Gravity after Mash was 1.057
OG prior to pitch was 1.064 should have been 1.070 per recipe.
Not sure what more I can do other than accept the figures/results of my methods and "up" the grains and dextrose till I start to hit the expected OGs.
Still not sure how others are getting higher efficiencies from BIAB.
