I did my fourth all grain last night and just pitched my yeast to find i have only got 40% efficiency . I have been getting around about 60-65% on my previous brews and have been trying everything to get it up from there! I'm so devistated i just can't believe it.
my recipe was
4500g pilsner
500g wheat
200g caramunich
mashed at 65 and dropped to 64 after 60 minutes
400g dextrose
35g stryrian goldings @ 60
20g saaz @ 10
20g saaz @ flame out
no chill
belle saison yeast
estimated og 1052
measured og 1032
I ended up with about 25l instead of 23
I used a single infusion mash at 65c with no mash out and a double batch sparge first at about 72 and the second i got to 76
I sparged slowly and mixed well i just don't understand.
please help
