Hi All,
I have a large pot and I can fit it over two of my stove burners. This helps to get to a boil quick. Usually I back off on one burner during the boil, but last night I left both on high. It was an extract boil of 2.5 gal with 7 pounds of DME. When the boil was over a significant amount (at least 1.25 gal possibly more) of volume was lost. I was expecting a gravity around 1.056 and it ended up around 1.036. I couldn't believe it. Can too much boil off cause this?
Thanks!!!
