So. BS gives med preboil volume of x, and preboil SG of y.

If i fill inn those numbers, it calculates me a mash efficiency of 0.9% higher than the estimated mash efficiency.

What gives? Can it be number of decimals I use? I haven't tampered with how many decimals to show.
 
It is due to rounding.  Tested it and I can change my mash efficiency up and down about a point by changing the decimal place beyond what the program displays (currently 3 decimals for gravity and 2 for volume).
