I got a nice new 8 gallon Megapot for Xmas. It has a drain valve on the bottom that is about two inces above the bottom of the kettle. Should I have anything attached to the inside? It seems like I'm gonna lose about a gallon of wort because of how high the valve is.
My goal is to start with 6.5 gallons preboil and I figure I'll lose a gallon to evaporation. But with the valve I'm also gonna lose a gallon sitting in the bottom of the pot. Do I need to raise my preboil volume or attach something to the valve on the inside of the pot? I'm hoping to end up with 5.5 gallons in the carboy.
Thanks.
