Hello All,
Curious if any one is occasionally raking the top layer of there mash during the lauter. I get a pretty "gummy" layer on top and it would be my guess that this is inhibiting the sparge liquid from penetrating the grain causing efficiency issues. I noticed that the top 3 inches of the circumference of my mash had pulled slightly away from the MLT side. I'm assuming that this is because the sparge water is flowing toward the path of least resistance. At no time is the top of my grain bed run dry. I always have approx 2-3 inches of water above the bed.
Cheers and thanks!
