I just finished my 9th AG. And it went perfect. 4 ½ hours from start to everything put away. I think I found a rhythm. I was focused on only brewing. Everything flowed very nicely.
I used 12 # total grains. The problem Im having is I measured the runoff at 6.25 gal, and measured SG of 1.030 plus or minus a point, at boiling. I wrote that down, and continued. End of boil I have 5.5 gal in carboy at 62 deg, and measure 1.068, that is way too high. I measured again this morning, 1.068. That would put my efficiency at over 90%. Possible, but not likely.
I batch sparge and everything flowed really well. My mash temp 157 for 60 min temp dropped to 154.
I am pretty certain I measured the grains properly, but it is possible I got an extra ½ pound of 2-row in there. Even then the efficiency is over 90%.
Once again, I am fairly certain I weighed the grains properly, and used only 12 #. What is the highest probable efficiency?
