I threw the grains loose into 77C water, and stirred it down to 68C. I only lost 1 or 2 degrees C the whole time. I kept the heat in by wrapping the pot in towels. After 60 minutes, I poured the whole thing into another pot through a fine mesh colander, and rinsed it with 80C water.
I got 11.2 Brix (1.045 specific gravity) out of it, which means I am getting a little over 70% efficiency. We'll see how the gravity holds up though the boil.
