So I have 4 all grain brews under my belt. I use a 15G pot for my mash. I have experienced some low brewhouse efficiency....62-65% on my last few batches and I think I may know the issue. Beersmith seems to be giving me a low mash water volume....(my last batch asked for 3.25g of water for 10.5lbs of grain. That seems a little low to me. Shouldn't it be closer to .5G per pound of grain? What mash setting should I have set in Beersmith and what other inputs could be causing the issue?
A seperate question, my next batch is going to be a big stout with about 30lbs of grain (15% ABV, 6g batch) . I think that would be around 15G of water?
