I have a robobrew, just doing my 90th batch in right now.
The last 4 or 5 batches ive been a good 8 points short. Preboil samples are much lower than id expect, so i boil the crap out it and still come up 8 points short.
These are all similar beers to what i always brew ( 1.040 ).
I have been using different base malts. One of them being gladfield pils, which seems to like a very open mill gap. I have been playing with mill gap since then, but im pretty much at .040'', which seems to be a pretty good spot for Robo's.
Spent grain does not taste overly sweet, and i have noticed i seem to have more boil volume after the mash. Odd.
I have a new bag of Atlas, so will have consistency to try a few things.
Beers turn out fine, just on the lighter side. Annoying though.
Rant over!
