Morning all.
Last night was my first brew in a very long time I was very excited to be doing it and had looked forward to it all week ,I had read and re-read all the notes I had and checked and re-checked all my euipment to make sure it was all ok. Everything went fine and according to the recipe below however when the boil was finnished and i racked into the fermentor I only ended up with 12 liters of wort. The kettle had a very minor drip (i mean minor) prior to the final boil but the heat stopped that once it was under way. The only difference I can think of at the minute is that this was done for the first time in my shed instaed of the usual outside brewing that i did but even though ths shed got warm (the walls and steel beams aswell) surely that would not mean i would lose 10 liters to evaporation.
If anyone has anyidea it would be grealty appreciated I dont really want to add water to this to make 23liters(i never do but this is a half half brew with a mate so i might consider it)
Thanks
