I did some calculations for the Roch 10 recipe, and for a mash efficiency of 90%, the percent of extract from the mash would be: 78.85$, and from added sugar 21.15% of total dissolved solids in the wort. If mash efficiency were only 75%, and the recipe unaltered, the percent of extract from the mash would be 75.65%, and added sugar 24.35%. The ratio in the first case is 3.73 extract/sugar, and the second case 3.11. Is that enough to worry about? IDK. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I’d have to crunch some numbers to verify what you are saying here.
I think in reality, however, there wouldn’t be a scenario where that drastic of a drop in conversion Efficiency wasn’t corrected with better process or more grain. So the scenario in which you drop conversion without increasing available grain extract is unlikely.
At least to me. I don’t know if that would be obvious to everyone.
I’ll take a look at my original calcs this week and post some observations here.
