I have a 30 quart aluminum turkey fryer and I'm making a 5 gallon batch. I'm using a stove-top gas burner that takes about an hour (or a little more) to get to a full boil.
I don't know my evaporation rate so my question is: for those who've had experience with a 30qt on a gas stove top (or others who have better insight than I do), do you think I'll boil off 1/2 a gallon (i.e. use 5.5 gallons of wort at beginning of the boil) or do you think I'll lose a gallon (i.e. use 6 gallons of wort at beginning of the boil)?
