Don't give it up. We are here to help. Steelers asked some good questions. Let's start there, and also tell us about what you are trying to brew and throw in your mash temps, too. WHat are the recipe's efficiencies designed for? Not everyone can hit a high efficiency with their setup. That doesn't matter anyway. It's more important to hit the SAME efficiency time after time, rather than hit a high one. This is NOT a "my dick is bigger than yours" thing. CONSISTENCY is KING here.

from the way it sounds these are extract beers right? If so then one of two things is going on extract that is high in non fermentables or two (this is my bet) that he is low on his pitching rate slash taking it off the yeast cake to soon. try reading up a little on yeast here www.mrmalty.com

still in primary on the cake

Ok what extract brand did you use for this beer? Also Dry or liquid?
