I just did my 2nd batch with my Barley Crusher. My 1st batch was with it at the 0.039" factory setting (verified with feeler gauges). I got 87% efficiency, which is higher than I would like, so I widened it to 0.044". Then I got 83%. I would like to be closer to 70%, and I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I see a lot of posts where people tightened the gap. What should I try next to get closer to 70%? Maybe 0.050"?
Here is a picture of the crush:
