brewing beer leads to happy life
I use the same equipment and do 5.5 gallon batches in BS to yeild 5 gallons at bottling.
Can you use the diameter of your kettle and google boil off calculators? is your cooler a rubbermaid? DO you have a false bottom?
If yes to most of the questions I can send you my profile in BS. I have it dialed in pretty tight. you would just need to measure the deadspace under the false bottom.
cooler is rubber maid with false bottom. Its not been shipped to me yet.
boil kettle is 10 gal aluminum. I think I am going to get a metal yard stick with inch measurements and mark off the gallons and partial gallons. you can pM me if you want to tell me more about the equipment profile.
