I just did my first all grain batch. I've done a few Partial Mashes before, with efficiencies of 60% 75% and 80%. For this first AG batch my efficiency was 60%. I made a bazooka tube with a stainless steel braid from a toilet water supply line for the bottom of my 10 gal Gatorade cooler. The run off was very fast. I hit all my temps and mashed 10 lbs of grain with 15 qts for 50 min. Then I batch sparged with 17 qts. Ended up with probably 6.75 gal of pre boil wort. Boiled for about an hour 20 min, and had to top off with a half gallon in each kettle. (I did two separate boils for 2 separate 2.5 gal batches). Like I said, I got about 60% efficiency and can't figure out why.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
