EDIT - ok, i see what you are asking.
800g of wheat malt in approx 2L of water. Mashed at 68 for 75mins (lost 8 deg over that time so hopefully it didnt drop below 65 at the 20 min mark). Strained thru wire strainer. Put grain back into esky. Sparged with 2 x 2L of 75C water. Boiled for 60 mins. Ended up with 4L in fermenter so topped up with cooled (preboiled) water.

I do need to use something to help me out with temp losses. Sleeping bag and the sun sounds like a good idea.
