I mashed at 64 instead of 65, and got 1.062 instead of 1.069. Am I right in thinking the extra degree would've gave me my target gravity?


No you are not correct in making that assumption.

Low temps can be a factor in low efficiency, but it's not the only factor.

As a brewing newbie, how accurate do the temps have to be? The screenshot above says to sparge at 75.6C. I'm curious what you would use to measure to that level of accuracy and also what you use to heat to the same.

I've saw quite a lot of homebrewers I'm following on YouTube just use a fairly basic digital thermometer which you can get off eBay for like £5.
