Next mash I'll go down to 1.1mm grind and hopefully pick up the slight loss in efficiency. It should handle it without getting stuck. I think the stuck sparges I had was a result of lots of paint stirrer/drill mixing which isn't as needed with the pump circulating the wort. This was my lowest sg @1060 normally around 1070.
I started off with 1.1mm grist and had more trouble with it than the current 1.2mm. Mind you, I don’t have a RIMS or HERMS ( ~x( stoopid spell-correct!!! We don’t use herpies!!!), so that may be where we differ.
As for temp loss, I wouldn’t think it would matter too much going into the FV!?!? :think:
