But if my evaporation rate is much less, then my mash efficiency hasn't changed.
I've done hand calculations and beersmith. Mash efficiency is calculated pre-boil. I don't think my post-boil volume has anything to do with mash efficiency. I guess i won't be sure until my next brew, of how volume effects mash efficiency.
He was talking about the pointlessness of brewhouse efficiency to a homebrewer.

Well i agree with that. But i think he was referring to my mash eff. I mean unless i drained off more wort from my mash, i can't really know for certain if my mash eff. would change. I can see a possibility of it going down, but until i do it, i won't know. But also, if my wort loss is less, then it shouldn't really effect my evap. rate.
I see the brewhouse efficiency is good at getting all the parts of your brew dialed in for consistency.
Take my brewing for example. My last 2-3 batches i've been short on wort volume at fermenting time. If i can get my evaporation rates calculated properly, i may be able to fix this. This could mean scaling my recipe up to 5.5 gallons
