On this weekend's brew (my 4th all-grain batch, so I'm still dialing it in and hammering out my process) I had a great brew day - it was around 19°, so a bit chilly, but I nailed my mash temps and held it in my coleman cooler MLT without any real trouble. (Batch Sparged)
I ended up with about 6.25G of wort pre boil, so a little less than I was going for, but still not that bad. And I totally forgot to grab a pre-boil reading
After a 60 minute boil I was a bit surprised that I only collected a little over 4 gallons (usually I would be around the 5G mark on this type of boil)
My gravity was 1.061 (expected 1.051 on the Caribou Slobber AG kit that I brewed)
So, in the future, should I plan on more boil off when the temps are this low?
If this had happened to you would you have done anything to "fix" the problem, or just RDWHAHB? (I did the latter)
