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): 13.05      
Estimated OG: 1.049 Plato: 12.04

Raw Pre-Boil Targets - only targeted volume/gravity and evaporation
rate taken into account:
Target Volume (Gal): 11.76      
Estimated OG: 1.054 Plato: 13.29

Post-Boil Targets:
Target Volume (Gal): 10.00      
Estimated OG: 1.063 Plato: 15.52

Recorded Actuals - Measurement Taken In Ferementer:
Recorded Volume (Gal): 10.00      
+Losses (Gal): 0.48      
Total Volume (Gal): 10.48      
Recorded OG: 1.063 Plato: 15.38

At 100 percent extraction from the maximum mash potential:
Total Points: 84.45
Points From Mash: 84.45
Points From Extract/Sugar: 0.00

With the recipe efficiency setting, you should have achieved:
Total Points: 63.34
Points From Mash: 63.34
Points From Extract/Sugar: 0.00

Actuals achieved were:
Actual Points From Mash: 65.77
Actual Mash System Efficiency: 78 %

Problem Notes
Not enough sparge water. Needed to add hot water to the hot liquor tank towards the end. Hot liquor tank started leaking. Luckily the sparge was just ending.
