Hi guys,
i'm trying to figure out why i've always less wort than expected (1-2L) when I brew my all-grain 5gal bateches.
For calculus and recipe design I'm using BrewMate w/ this (default) settings:
-grain abs rate (L/kg) : 0.90
-sparge deadspace :0L
-evap per hour = 10%
-after cooling loss = 4%
-losses trub/chiller = 0L
I'm doing batch sparging e and i do not use any tools to chill out rapidly the wort.
The only thing i'm thinking about is: how do you count the time on heat between end of mashing/lautering and rolling boil (100C)?
My burner isn't so powerful and it needs some time to reach boiling (30-40mins), for a total time on high heat of 90mins avg.
Are my losses caused by more evaporation than i expected?
