Recently made the move to 30 minute mashes and what a game changer for guy like me with a young family and less brew time. Still working out the kinks. IE lower efficiency, higher FG, slight haze/astringency. My previous attempts used 1.6qt per lb and after some research I believe I need to be mashing thicker (1qt-1.2qts per lb) to improve the conversion rate. I am dialing in mash pH per BNW so I think that's covered. Just recently dialed in my mill back to .30" from .040" so it's rather fine enough I think. Think of grabbing a refractometer to keep tabs or maybe iodine? Any other thoughts?
