Lately (last 4 to 5 batches) I've seen my conversion efficiency dropping from almost 80% down to a little below 60%. I measure pre-boil and use volume and SG along with potential PPG to determine my conversion efficiency. All procedures have remained the same except that about 3 batches ago I reduced the gap on my crusher by ~ .005". I read texasbrewer73's post and feel that I've got most of my bases covered there given the equipment that I have. The variable that I'm focusing on and have not seen covered is grain (malt) freshness. The base malt that I'm using (organic 2-row) is from a 50# bag and is 6+ months old. I'm wondering if it's losing some of it's potential sugars?
