Hello.
I boiled 5 gallons of water for 1 hour with a rolling boil on my bayou burner. The water is 136* with 3.5 gallons left. I do not think that is right. I have a 15 gallon megapot.
I was using just enough to get the surface of the wort to break giving me 16-17% loss. Someone thought I should be boiling a little more rapid than that. (That is why I did the water test today)
So do I go with 30% loss or am I boiling to hard? I always hear "You need a rolling boil".
Just went to http://www.ehow.com/video_2346173_tips-getting-water-rolling-boil.html. That video is WAY lower of a boil than what I did.
Which is better, video #1 or #2?

Thank you in advance.
