I'm getting about 70-72% at best with no sparge. this is in a standard kettle mash tun with a false bottom. Is this pretty normal?

Your efficiency will change with OG, so can you folks please post that as well?
thanx

sorry - this was a 1.044 beer in the end. I foolishly didn't adjust my anticipated efficiency when forming the recipe.

I BIAB with a pretty consistent 70%. No sparge. I'm a squeezer though

Ever notice more tannin when you squeeze the bag? In extract days, I tried that once: squeezing the adjunct grain bag. Hello sun tea..

I cannot say that I notice more tannin. I also don't go crazy with the process either. I spin the bag to squeeze. I use .09 to calculate water to grain loss so I don't have to squeeze too terribly much.

I don't. Don't rule out confirmation bias, since everyone always told you you'd get more tannins. These days, with so many people doing BIAB, the evidence tends to say you don't get tannins.

Same for me. I do not squeeze it crazy but I do give it a little squeeze at the end to get to my pre-boil volume.

same with hop bags, too.

Yea, and then there's the Stout_fan method. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Wring that sucker dry. THAT was my mistake. I could see the husk particles going into the brew pot. Did that stop me? Hail no!

Meh, I don't think a few chunks will hurt you.
it were more than a few!

LOL!
I'm not doing brew in a back, but I"m doing a full volume mash in my cooler then just run it out. I honestly haven't been measuring my efficency, but the beer has been good so far.
I should probably measure it though...

Husk particles won't matter if your pH is in line. Ever done a decoction mash?
