Extreme Amount Of Water Loss In Boil

[NRB]

Sweet!

You'll still enjoy your low gravity beers, perhaps keep them on hand for the driving visitors and drink the subsequent batches yourself.

Enjoy the new control that AG brings.

Can I recommend picking up a stainless steel ruler to measure the volume in the boiler pre/post boil?

Do you have one in mind Kook? Might not be a bad idea for me to some type of markings on the pot to indicate liters.

Sweet!

Yeah, they'll still be sweet, and good for friends that are driving.


Cleaning labels off of bottles as I bottle one of them tomorrow...soo much fun! :angry:

Time for a kegging system!

I picked up a 60cm one from a teaching supply store. It's perfect for my system, as my pot is 49cm tall inside and holds about 98L. Easy to tell the volume with a quick look at the ruler. I always measure pre-boil, and if I want to measure post-boil, I just put the ruler in for the last 10 mins of the boil to sanitise it.

So have you added Liter markings on it? Or are you just calculating cm lost based on original volume?

Yeah...it's on the list, but I've just shelled out a small fortune to start AG brewing so it is going to be a while before I get into kegging.

Pretty easy with mine, 1cm = 2L.

It would be easy to put up a chart with the cm vs litres if your pot was a slightly less convenient size.

Yep, makes sense.
