Hi,
Today i did a evaporation test in my boiler in preparation for my first AG in the coming weeks. I'm setting my equipment for use with Beersmith. My pot is a SS 59L and it is quite wide (500mm internal).
I put 35L (17cm) of water into it and kicked off my italian spiral. Lid off once boiling began (95 degrees) and let it go at a rolling boil for an hour. After an hour there was 24L (11cm) left.
Did i do this correctly? 11L of evaporation seems a lot to me.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
