What is the trick to keeping up your Efficiency on big beers. I tried my biggest beer yet this weekend and hit about 60% Efficiency. I usually nail my gravity at about 75% Efficiency.
When it came time to sparge I only used about 1.5 gallons of sparge water because of all the water used in mash in and mash out, so when sparge was done the beer was still running strong..
Do I just sparge more and boil the hell outta it?? Lower grain to water ratio?? Skip mash out??? Or adjust amout of grain I use to for 60% Efficiency ???
