Stirring the grist probably whilst mashing. Took my efficiency from just under 60% to over 80%....

Planning. Today several things happened through one another, long story short when I came back I forgot how I divided the hop 
Threw the lot in the bin and started all over again.

Fermenting at a stable 20 ðC. Most home brew "twang" is from unhappy yeast.

Oooh. More details please...
When in the mash, for how long?
Having a fermentation chamber aka the good old bog standard fridge (with inkbird controller and a heat pad)are for me the big game changer(s). Stablising that fermentation temp will have one of the most siginifcant impacts on flavours if the rest of your process is correct. I really notivce the difference now and I'm brewing at every opportunity as I'm much happier with the final beer in the glass. Knowing that the yeast is working at its optimum temp and the ability to do diacetyl rests etc if required offer repeatable and measureable changes in your process which is invaluable.
For now it's the Braumeister which allowed me to step mash like a real Belgian monk 
I've got a fermentation fridge now but haven't used it on that many beers so far so too early to say how much difference it has made.

Difficult one, but I reckon simple water treatment has made most difference to the finished beer.
