Stupidly high efficiency on the brew monk

Post by MattGuk » Sat Apr 15, 2023 6:49 pm

So, after a 4 month hiatus, I decided to get a brew on today.
Thought my day had been mapped out for me, when weighing my grains, my scales packed up and had to go and get some more ( not a good start ).
All gone nice and smooth and looking at my notes, the last time a brewed this particular beer ( a golden ale ) I got a BHE of 77%, which is good for one of these systems.
However, I used just 4.27KG if grain for a 24L batch, and looking at my hydro, pre boil gravity is at 1.048, BF calculated 1.037.
One thing, I opted for a fine crush this time around, and my sparge was REALLY slow, but would a slow sparge really have that effect on efficiency?
Anybody had crazy efficiency with these all in ones?

With a Braumeister I always get at least 83%
I have just checked and with that amount of grain I would get a gravity of at least 1.044
