Just thought it would be nice for comparison purposes. Post some info about your rig/procedure just to see where the number are coming from.
I'm averaging a 75% mash efficiency at the moment. Using a 5gal converted igloo cooler for my tun, and typically do 2 rounds of batch sparging to get to my boil volume (about 7gal for a 60min boil). I like to do a mashout when I have the room, but with only a 5gal tun this isn't possible unless making a recipe with an OG in the lower range because of the grains.
My efficiency into the fermenter really seems to vary. Yesterday I had 64% into the fermenter, but before that it was about 80%. I use a 7.5 gal turkey fryer to boil on my gas stove (takes awhile to get going, but boils alright once it does).
