Do people report mash efficiency or brewhouse efficiency?

Hydrometers are 90% of the times calibrated to work at 20 celcius actually not 15

Can you explain me what it is that was rude in this sentence?

You tersely called him wrong without bothering to do any research on the subject.

You cited 90% as it were a fact when literature as cited by another poster makes jdooley correct.

Finally, in your later post you accused jdooley of being thin skinned.

It's the internet guys, relax. I'm sure you're both fine chaps.

Where did you get this statistic?

Yeah I agree with that that's why don't want to make any more comments... even that I'm dying to

Other than figuring out what equipment works best for me, and what doesn't, the one thing that caused me stress with all grain brewing was misreading my Hydrometer. I thought I was only getting 50% efficiency, when in fact it was more like 75%. I kept throwing in extra LDM, and god knows how strong those first few beers really were. All the other mistakes I made didn't adversely affect the beer - it was still good and better than pretty much any kit I'd made. It's a lot more work, but it is enjoyable.
