I think its time to give up on all grain brewing and go back to extracts. Just did my 5th batch of all grain using my nice expensive Mash Tun and only got 37% eff. Now I've got 5 gallons of worthless wort and a yeast starter with nothing to put it in.
I'm getting tired of messing up good beer, over the last 5 batches my eff. has ranged from the 30's to one time 65%. This time I let the mash sit for 90 minutes, still only 37%.
Can I store the wort overnight and get some extract to add??? How do I figure out how much extract is needed to bring the wort up to acceptable levels?
