Sorry I didn't give a good play by play - it was bust work watching 3 pots (later condensed to 2) and keeping track of the times on all of them boiling at different rates.
I pitched and cleaned up already. The old stove held out well I might say. Kept even the 4 galloner at a good steady boil. I actually got too much evaporation. Eff was HORRIBLE, but that is likely due to my mash. I did a single infusion with Pilsner malt for about 80 min. Sparge was good. went down from 1.070 in the first runnings to less than 1.010 in the final runnings. I aimed for 5 gal of 1.064 and got 4.5 gal of 1.050. Ouch. I'm too tired to calc the eff. maybe tomm... Got work at 6...
