So I got the new Penrose kettle for Xmas. Today I decided to do a little test with it to see what the boil off rate was. My last brew pot was a 40 qt stainless model with a tri-layer bottom about 15" diameter and I usually had about 2 gal/hr of Boil off. With the Penrose (which is right at 16" diameter) I had almost 3 gal/hr. I backed off the turkey fryer gas to about 75% once the boil was going. Does that seem like a bit much to boil off to anyone else?
