HI,
I am using a condenser that is normally used on a still and I have some questions.
Kettle is a SS Brewtech 20 gallons, electric element is 5500W. Since using this setup I have done 2 batches and my boil off rate seems pretty low. I also experienced several boilover especially after adding hops during the boil. Last batch I eneded up setting up to 33% power output, but over the course of 60 minutes boiling, only 3/4 of a gallon has been evaporated. If I bump more than 33% power end up with boilover. Is it normal? should I just adjust my boil off rate in brewfather to account for that? Is 33% within the norm?
Here is my setup, you can see my condenser in the red circle:
Thank you in advance,
