What are you brewing?
Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

Martin, would you mind crushing with my mill for a batch? Happy to bring it down to yours. I want to see if it's my crush that is damaging my efficiency. The numbers you have above are so impressive - with 3.9 kg of grain my system would only give me 1.038.

Finally downloaded that and had a look at it, it's good so I will have to use it with my next brew to see where I'm loosing percentages.

Didn't read the /L bit at first and thought you were using 2.25g of Cascade total - there's toning it down for the masses and then there's just being stingy! Looks good - I might do another batch of my NZ Cascade ale this weekend in time for xmas also.

Awesome brew day.
Hit my OG spot on, first time in a while it hasn't been +-2 points. Except for a few hop bits I got 20L of ultra-clear wort into the fermenter. Dropped my koppafloc down to 0.5g insteard of 1.0g and actually got a trub cone this time, and a tighter layer of trub - less 'fluffy' than usual, was much easier to draw off.
Let's hope the beer's as good as the brew day!
