Simple Question, At what point should I stop tinkering with my mash process and accept my efficiency for what it is?
I have ran 8 batches through a new all-grain DIY setup, each time I seem to have tinkered with my mash process slightly, For Example:
Pre Heat Mash Tun
Mash in 2 Degrees Warmer
Mash In 3 Degrees Warmer
Mash In 4 Degrees Warmer
Batch Sparge
Fly Sparge
Various Runoff Speed Changes (slowest speed was actually my worst efficiency)
If I stop where I am at, I am generally mid to high 60's for efficiency, so i guess the real question is should I just be happy (and probably have a more consistent product) or continue tinkering with my process in the kitchen (and Beersmith) until I get to my goal of 72-78%?
