Hi
I am in need of tweaking my BeerSmith a bit and need some information from those of you that use converted kegs.

What do you find is your boil off rate per hour in percents? If you use a software program, what do you set it at?

Thanks

I have a converted keg and I have tested and boil off on average to be 1.5 gallons per hour.

I'm pretty close to that as well... 1.67 gal/hour including "shrinkage" due to cooling.

My rate is close to that too.

I start with about 13 gallons in the keg for a 11 gallon batch with a 60 minute boil. My kettle leaves 0.4 gallons behind, which means that between boil-off and cooling I lose 1.6 gallons. We'll see how this changes in the spring and summer, but I don't expect a huge difference.
