I am trying to improve my efficiency, thinking of changing the design of my mash tun. Which give you the better effficiency, a SS braide, pvc or cooper maniford, or a false bottom?

Yes same here and I usually get 80% efficiency, but my range with my setup is 78-86%.
I have a 10 gal drink cooler with a SS braid and I batch sparge. For some reason I get a about 58% efficiency on a good day but I range as low as 47%. I don't if it is my tun or my technique. Just tryin to find ways to get better.
