Notes
Managed 53% efficiency on the PW. I planned for 70% which is why my gravity was 25 points under my estimated pre-boil gravity (1.072 vs 1.097). At the end of the boil, I added .8 LB sugar to bump the gravity. I didn't measure before sugar but after was 26 BRIX (1.111 SG).

Water volumes were off skewing my first runnings volume and subsequently my sparge volume and finally my pre-boil.
