So I decided to switch from a fairly primitive propane system to electric to make brewing in the winter months a little more appealing, I bought a 20 gallon brew in a basket system from clawhammer supply. This system works very nice however I feel like I may have made too big of a jump, I was looking at brewing 10 gallon batches but have yet to do so. I have found that I'm not hitting the predicted OG on most of my brews, while the old system was pretty consistent in that regard doing 2 batch sparges into an igloo cooler. I do like this setup but can't help but think I may be overlooking something or may need to adjust my process. I'm wondering if I simply need to adjust up to a 10 gallon batch to allow the system to work more effectively. Also my fermentation capabilities are capped at 1 five gallon vessel ( small freezer with temp controller). Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
