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): 8.55      
Estimated OG: 1.071 Plato: 17.27

Raw Pre-Boil Targets - only targeted volume/gravity and evaporation
rate taken into account:
Target Volume (Gal): 12.94      
Estimated OG: 1.047 Plato: 11.65

Post-Boil Targets:
Target Volume (Gal): 11.00      
Estimated OG: 1.055 Plato: 13.61

Recorded Actuals - Measurement Taken In Ferementer:
Recorded Volume (Gal): 10.00      
+Losses (Gal): 1.20      
Total Volume (Gal): 11.20      
Recorded OG: 1.056 Plato: 13.80

At 100 percent extraction from the maximum mash potential:
Total Points: 73.55
Points From Mash: 73.55
Points From Extract/Sugar: 0.00

With the recipe efficiency setting, you should have achieved:

Problem Notes
Beer seem's cloudy so polycar was tried. Polycar was added and 1 week later beer filtered with 5 micron filter. Beer still seems to have a haze.
