Does anyone else see their efficiency shoot up like 20% when doing 10-gallon batches vs. 5-gallon batches? I'm thinking it has something to do with lautering efficiency.
I'm regularly getting 90-95% efficiency numbers out of BeerSmith on my 10-gallon batches, and often that's after dumping the last gallon or so of wort before the boil to get my pre-boil gravity and volume correct. Similar beers in 5-gallon batches would usually have me at about 75% efficiency, give or take a few %.
