Well my brew buddy has ran some calcualtions on some of my brews now and the best he has came up with is 59%, for one brew. The rest have all been 40-45%
Since I have moved to a cooler I have been able to hit my temps and keep them in range with no problems. My water is terrible and am guessing I am having trouble with the ph.
I have also went with a finer crush with no movement on my effeciency.
Water is about the only thing I haven't messed with.
Going to brew this weekend with RO water and see if this helps. I am not trusting my ph strips and haven't bothered buying anymore so I am flying blind. My brew buddy doesn't check ph at all and is hitting 75%
I might give fly sparging another shot but mostly I have been batch sparging, this point is still up in the air for the weekend.
