What kind of boil off is everybody getting doing a ten gallon batch. I think I have pretty much everything down for my first AG batch other than how much water to start with.
 
If I recall my high school chemistry stuff, the boil off rate would be set by the heat apllied and the surface area. So, same burner, same pot, same rate. If 1 gal/hr for a 5 g batch, 1gal/hr for 10 gallons.

Of course, if you need to sparge more to get the sugars, you'll need to boil more.
