What is your efficiency?

I'm curious to compare different brewing setups and was wondering if everyone could
fill out this survey.. If you do the survey early on and think I'm missing a key question, please post here and I'll try to fix it.

You could put in if you are doing RIMS HERMS or just mashing in a picnic cooler. And the size of your mash and water to grain ratios.

Good idea. I'll add those when I get home here shortly. Some may be statistically irrelevant, but there's only one way to find out!

another good thing to put in would be batch size.
either way, survey done

Done.
I'd love to see the results as well.

My cave man brewing rig probably makes my answers useless, but I did the survey.

Part of this exercise is to prove you don't need
this to make good beer. Once we have ~15 responses I'll start crunching the numbers. We're up to 9 so far.

So this somehow slipped out of my memory. I now have InDesign for my computer so I can make it soon. If anyone wants to add their efficiency (especially with the BIAB surge!) I'll make it before long.

Ben, two of the largest factors effecting mash efficiency are the size of your crush and the time length of your mash. Check this out:

Your "other" options are broken, fail form validation since no radio button is selected.

Damn. This thing worked two years ago when I set it up. Can't fix it right now.

I just did it again. I'd like to see everyone's results.

Too many variables on efficiency for me to fill that out. Anywhere from 65 to 84.

With BIAB, milling my own grain, 1.035 to 1.058 OG, 21L batches, mash efficiency into kettle is in the 85-88% range.
