In order to help shake off my rusty brewing skills, I made a few alterations to the Full Mountie recipe from two years back. Maris Otter was replaced with standard 2-row, and the entire bourbon/oak steps were left out. Additionally, the grain bill was increased to compensate for my historically poor brewing efficiency, and I adjusted my rest-temp calculator to more effectively compensate for inevitable heat losses that occur during the mash.
During this brew session, I had a strong focus on efficiency. I wrapped my mash tun in blankets to reduce heat loss, and rigorously monitored my mash and lautering temps. I was quite successful, raising my efficiency from a measly 42.7% to 55.8%.
