I read the article posted on here and it was very helpful. However, I wanted to post this just to see if anyone had any thoughts. For my last batch, target gravity was 1.053 and 75% efficiency. My pre boil OG was 1.036 which I thought was not bad (I had calculated that i needed a 1.040 ish in order to finish at the target gravity). I added about 1/2 lb of DME to get the pre boil to 1.040. Post boil OG was 1.046 at 70 degrees. I had a nice rapid boil for 60 minutes. Not sure what happened.
