Here are a handful of potential culprits: 1. We had a loose tube in the mash recirculation which resulted in a bunch of air getting into the mash and creating some significant bubbling. 2. We still are figuring out the correct speed to recirculate the mash water. I think we may be going to fast and creating channels of different temperatures within the grain bed. 3. Jonathan. 4. We may need to let the grain bed settle a bit more before beginning recirculation to allow for some even temperature distribution. 5. I'm thinking about adding a bit more water to the mash to help with temperature distribution in the mash as well. Rob, efficiency was bad, below 70% for sure.

What are the new hypothesis now that Joel has been ruled out? Can we ask brewing related questions? ;)
