Not sure if this belongs here exactly.
I am trying to dial in my system and have slowly gotten piece by piece dialed in and my boil off rate seems to be one of the last issues.
When dealing with wort, is there a formula that says:
If you start with 6 gallons at 1.051 and boil off one gallon it should equal 1.0XX?
My boil off is staying the same but the the changed in gravity is not. My last batch boiled off a gallon and it went from 1.051 to 1.057 but it seems to change each time.
I suspect the culprit is actually myself attempting to measure the volumes.
I measure the preboil volume at 150-170 degrees and then measure the post boil volume at 68 degrees. Hoping there is a system to even all this out and get better idea of what the final gravity will be.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
