Brew Efficiency

[Crusader-Rob]

Hi

It seems onething afteranother here in the brewery at the moment, I've had attenuation issues, infection issues, and now efficiency issues.

I've always aimed for around 70% Brewhouse efficiency, but its been dropping. Yesterdays Belgian IPA I aimed for 1.063 and 21 litres into the fermenter, but got just under 22 and 1.057, a considerable difference.

what are the different ways to improve total brewhouse efficiency. Bare in mind I hit a good mash efficiency. and missed target pre boil OG by 2 points.

i hit volume bang on pretty much as well. how do i adjust the boiling? on the plus side  consistency is good like you say. Aiming for 20-21 into fermenter. for my total recipe, should i have 23 litres on the recipe, and then 21 into fermenter?

Hmm, odd then. Do you have enough pre boil wort?

I can show you when you are next in the shop
