Apologies if this has been answered many times before - but I read a lot about people with percentage efficiencies - how is this calculated?
I mashed 35 litres at 66 deg C yesterday - 4.5kg crushed Pale Maris Otter plus 95g of Light Crystal Caramel malt.
Gravity of the wort pre-boil (32l) was 1.044 or thereabouts.

I did something reasonably close to that too this morning and ended up with 1.044 pre-boil

I guess I'll keep mashing in the kettle rather than in a separate picnic cooler!
