Brad,
I was just wondering how accurate the Boil Off utility is in the program. It seems like the gravity & volume calculations are simple, but I've never had them match. If I type in my preboil volume, the gravity, & the boil off, my OG is always different. I don't have my notes with me so I can't remember if it is usually higher or lower. Anyway, the reason I ask is that I am starting to use a lot of whole hops in my brews which absorb a lot of wort. Which will throw off your efficiency reading if you only measure the amount of wort gathered in the fermentor. So can I use the utility to give me an accurate measurement of how much postboil wort I actually have? Also, does the boil off utility take the cooling loss of 4% into consideration or does that still need to be subtracted out?
Thanks,
Danno
