On my last batch I got 82% efficiency.
When I started AG a few months ago I got 64% on my first try, and after a couple more attempts have been getting 75%, but on this batch I got 82% and am very pleased.
The difference this time was, that I cracked my own grain and must have had a better crush than I usually get from my LHBS.
Because I am batch sparging and don’t have a very deep grain bed compared to fly sparging, that I could maybe try for an even finer crush.
Am curious as to what other people’s efficiency is?
And how they go about sparging?
I did a mash out and double batch sparge to get the 82%
