Efficiency Specifics
Recipe Efficiency Setting: 75 %

With sparge water, mash water, additional infusions, vessel losses, top-up
water and evaporation rate recorded in the Water Needed Calculator:

Target Volume (Gal): 1.75      
Estimated OG: 1.334 Plato: 67.47

Raw Pre-Boil Targets - only targeted volume/gravity and evaporation
rate taken into account:
Target Volume (Gal): 12.22      
Estimated OG: 1.048 Plato: 11.87

Post-Boil Targets:
Target Volume (Gal): 11.00      
Estimated OG: 1.053 Plato: 13.13

Recorded Actuals - Measurement Taken In Kettle:
Recorded Volume (Gal): 11.00      
Recorded OG: 1.055 Plato: 13.46

At 100 percent extraction from the maximum mash potential:
Total Points: 64.50
Points From Mash: 45.41
Points From Extract/Sugar: 19.09

With the recipe efficiency setting, you should have achieved:
Total Points: 53.15
Points From Mash: 34.06
Points From Extract/Sugar: 19.09

Actuals achieved were:
Actual Points From Mash: 35.45
Actual Mash System Efficiency: 78 %
