Anybody who can help here will be greatly appreciated.....
I have a 9 gallon square cooler with a braided stainless hose that I have been using for my mash tun. I typically mash for 60-75 minutes (single infusion)and do a single step batch sparge which I let rest for about 10 minutes. My beers have been turning out great but my efficiency sucks! I use Beer Smith and I always fall way short projected OG, both pre and post boil. My grain gets milled at my LHBS and they insist that the gap is all good. I can't break the 65% range, and last nights Belgian Golden was only 61%. I'm VERY frustrated....... I'm thinking maybe my digital thermometer might be off??? Any other ideas?
