So I have my grain absorption value and pre boil volume off. I've started using a wilser bag. My last session I was worried that I was going to be too low on my pre boil. After mash was finished I lifted the bag and let it hang while bringing up to a boil.
I did finally reach my preboil volume before the boil started. I took my bag and set it on a bucket for the rest of the day. I was lazy and didnt clean until the next morning. To my surprise, there was at least a half gallon of liquid in the bucket.
I would just let it drip for the duration of the boil, but I'm indoors using a steam condenser ... lid on the pot. I guess I could squeeze harder, but I was just lazy and let it drip. Maybe I could just set the temp to 180 or so and not go straight into a boil? I'm not in a rush to have faster brew days, but also dont want to waste time just for the sake of another cup.
