Hi
I am recalculating my BeerSmith settings as I have changed my system a great deal. When I calculate my boil off I used the formula found here:
http://beersmith.com/equipment_setup.htm
I started with 20 qts. of water, boiled it for an hour and ended up with 15 qts. Using this formula: Evap_rate = 100 * (volume_at_start - volume_at_end)/ (volume_at_end) I come up with a boil of rate of 33%. That seems way too high. Anybody have any idea on this?
