Hi everyone,
I have been doing all grain for the past 5 recipes. I have really been hitting between 60 and 65% eff, I just up the recipe to compensate. I have been making lighter beers only because I have a 5 gallon cooler,(soon to get a 10 gallon upgrade) I have searched a lot of the posts and really believe it is my grains pre crushed. I have used Midwest and AHS,. My temps are all right on 153 to 156 and will hold for 60. I stir good in the begining and repeat and 30 minutes. I rerun until it is clear before I sparge at 170. I think I am doing what I can do, but 60% is not gonna work. Has anyone has this same problem from the online guys? I had hears AHS crushed the grains well. I plan on getting a barley crusher soon, but was just curious.
