I have stabilized at 68% Brewhouse efficiency (according to BeerSmith) for several batches now. My "Efficiency into boiler" has been a constant 84%.
1. Are these "normal" efficiencies? I have read tons of posts on this forum about efficiency and many people talk of efficiencies in the high 70's or 80's.
2. What is causing the large drop in efficiency between the 2 numbers? I am leaving 1-2 quarts of gunk at the bottom of my brew kettle, is this a problem?
I'm not complaining about my efficiency, it's stable so I can plan for it, however I'm wondering why I can't get it to go up anymore no matter what I do!
