After a 15 year hiatus from homebrewing I am getting back into the hobby. I used to do full volume extract brewing but now I am trying my hand at BIAB. I have about 10 batches under my belt and I am trying to dial in what to expect with efficiencies from my setup. Unfortunately, they have been all over the map and I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
Just this week I did a 2.5 gallon version of Braufessor's NEIPA. I had increased the grain but kept the percentages the same and was shooting for 1.065 as my OG but ended up at 1.050. Most of my other batches missed the targeted OG by about .003 points but this is by far the biggest miss I have had since trying BIAB. My pre-boil volume and post boils volumes were pretty spot on. From my brew session:
Efficiency
Conversion: 85%
