So my laptop died right before my first all grain batch and I lost access to my BeerTools Pro software. I've been having to use the water calculators from brew-journal.com and brew365.com as a substitute. I brewed up Biermuncher's Cream of Three Crops today as my first ten gallon all grain batch. For some reason I ended up with an extra gallon for my pre boil volume and I also overshot my gravity by 10 points after a 90 minute boil. I've had similar issues with some 5 gallon batches as well. I was able to hit my gravities by boiling longer so that wasn't really an issue.
My question is where is this extra water volume coming from??? If I added that extra gallon I would have had close to 14 gallons of wort and there's no way I'm boiling off that much.
I really appreciate any input from you guys.
