Hey everyone. I have a new 5 gallon brew-pot that I tested today to see what the evaporation rate was like in it. I used 4 gallons of water and brought it to a boil on my gas stove. It hit boiling temperature and it was "rolling" in the bottom of the pot, but by the time those bubbles came to the surface they had broken up and the surface of the water remained relatively calm. Is this OK for brewing? I'm not sure if the purpose of the boil is the heat of the water or if it's the heat combined with the activity of the boil. Any thoughts?
