I will be brewing on Satuday....and I had lost all of my data in Beersmith due to a computer crash...so I ran an experiment tonite to determine my boil off rate.
10 Gallon SS Pot, diameter 15.5 inches
Start volume = 6.5 gallons
End volume = 5.0 gallons
Time = 60 minutes.....
Time does not include heat up....
So....1.5 gallons per hour....in this case 20.1%......seems aweful high but that is what I got.
Now, I did have a pretty rigorous boil....maybe it was excessive....but I did mark my gas nozzle location on my propane heater so I can repeat it on my brew day.....so I guess I will go with it.
I am WONDERING what others have for a boil off rate on their equipment.
