I'm watching the SG but to be honest with you I've never checked PH in 3 years of brewing. Is this a big concerne?Watch the pH and SG of your runoff and don't oversparge.

Certainly can be, especially with dark grains. If you fly sparge, that can compound the problem. OTOH, if the beer tastes good, you don't have a problem.I'm watching the SG but to be honest with you I've never checked PH in 3 years of brewing. Is this a big concerne?

That is the philosophy I operate under. Thanks!if the beer tastes good, you don't have a problem.

I've noticed that my efficiency is wildly better 7%+ when using less grain. For example, when I make my 70-/ at 1.035 I notice about 79% compared to ~70% for a 1.060 batch.So I'm collecting wort for a sweet chocolate stout. I was only going to make a 3 gallon batch but so far I've collected 4 gallons of wort and it a much higher OG than what was projected. How did I manage this?I'm going to batch sparge for a second time to see where that falls, I might just go ahead and make a 5 gallon batch out of this.

I've heard of that I never get any credit here...... . I can not remember if it was here or the GB. Someone had tracked efficiency versus OG and suprisingly (at least to me) it was a linear relationship. Wish I could track that down again because I just ballpark it when I go out of my usual gravity range.Is this a case of MUI?

Not here. I don't consume until the boil starts.Is this a case of MUI?
