Wow! I have a new 10 gallon Mega-pot from Northern Brewers. (Really nice pot, by the way). Before brewing my first batch with this pot, I decided to check what the boil-off rate is with it. I brought 5 measured gallons of water to a rolling boil (not an aggressive boil)and started my timer, set to 60 minutes - uncovered. When the timer indicated 60 minutes was up, I cut the heat, and cooled the water to about 90° with my immersion chiller. I then measured how much water was left. Surprise! Only 3 and 1/2 gallons left! Seriously?
Anyone else getting this high of a boil-off rate?
