Ok I have not been able to figure out the solution to my problem. My efficiency is typically around 75-80%. I brewed a double ipa yesterday shooting for a OG of 1.096. Preboil gravity according to brewers friend was to be 1.054, ground my grain as usual, mashed at 153, nailed a 5.4 mash pH, hit a 1.052 preboil gravity (basically dead on). Boiled and then added my 2 lbs of dextrose at knockout. Was aiming for 6gal, only ended up with about 5 and a OG of 1.080 counting for the under volume and under gravity I hit only about 50% efficiency! whaaaat is going on?? I can't figure out how my preboil gravity could have been dead on but my postboil was so much lower than expected!! please help!
