Hi all
I'm just setting up my new electric kettle BIAB setup and trying to test parameters before actually performing a brew.
It's a 28litre urn that I am using. My target bottling volumes are around 15litres.
I performed a 15litre test boil for 60 minutes. The boil off % was monumental 30.2% , with a vigorous boil (but not one that would cause risk of boil over).
This seems very high compared to a lot of what I have read which range from 4-15%, especially considering my urn is a pretty tall narrow one (30cm diameter)
I guess I have to do some serious topping up to reach my target volumes... or have I missed something?
