Most new members eventually work out where I'm coming from and some even grudgingly admit that I might have even been trying to help (if you can imagine such a thing!). The backlash that has me bothered is coming down from above (up to you to decide whether this is board staff or the formerly helpful brewers who don't post anymore).

and it seems that there is another vessel called a bucket?
does this deem it a single vessel and bucket system?
how hard is it to go on one of those verge pick up days and find a unwanted esky for free!
why do you have to be so negitive
i can see why the extract is down now

Nowhere did I say I use seperate vessels, I mash in a 50L Esky (preheated) & Lauter out if it as well!!!!

I do keep extensive records of my brews (at least the past 2yrs any way)
There is no need to be stepping my mash (I do mash out @ 70+) with the modified grain I use, mostly 80% Pale malt, 10% wheat malt & 10% Flaked maize.
A stepping regime may well be worth a try one day but I can do it by decoction.
Besides, even if my efficiencies are actually a bit off. I'm producing the type of beer I like any way???
That's not to say that I'm totally dis-interested in my efficiency, it's just not critical, as long as I'm pump'n out good beer!

Then risk Hot Side aeration as I transfer/slop a full mash to a lauter tun?????
No thanks!

Apologies for going off-topic again here, but isn't aeration much less of an issue pre-boil? Any oxygen introduced will be driven off by boiling anyway, so I would have thought you could be pretty reckless with both aeration and sanitation before the boil, if your post-boil practices were up to scratch.
