Any tips on efficiency gains for Boo and I?
Not really. I don't believe i know anymore about brewing than y'all do. But i am very precise with my readings. I measure my mash temperature in about 6 diff spots before i close the lid. I had to add 3/4 of a gallon of boiling water to raise my temps to 152, and after 30 minutes my temps were still at 151/152.
I also sparge very slowly, and i'm constantly tinkering with the flow rate.
I also vorlauf about 10-12 times before i start sparging.
There is a possibility that my markings on my carboy are wrong, but i'll check on that before my next brew.

Anyone else use beersmith when measuring efficiency? Seems like it matches up pretty well. I did a hand calculation the last 3 all-grain batches and i was pretty close.
