Is there a direct connection between correct water treatment and the efficiency of the mash?
On my last Stout I got 94% Mash efficiency, whereas Yesterday's Belgian Brew I only gained 76%.
The main differences would have to be the Stout's liquor was treated to the GW Calc's Stout setting and my Belgian simply had 1 Tsp of Gypsum to the Mash.
Any correlation here?
Also, does the Mash Temp alter the Efficiency, so 65c for a dry Beer would be more efficient than a 68c mash for a fuller bodied beer?

Re: Water Treatment & Mash Efficiency
Obvious really I suppose, I just don't normally bother... Cheers
