I just doughed in a brew a few minutes ago using BIAB. It is more or less a copy of a very successful previous brew, except that I eliminated the CaraPils, and am mashing 2 deg F higher. (154F) Is this enough to make a difference? My brewhaus efficiency is higher than it was, so I left out the half pound of carapils which was 9% of my 5.5 pound grain bill for a 2.5 gallon brew.

I've tried mashing much higher, with dramatic results....Not sure exactly how to decide on the optimal mash temp. Suggestions?
