Add a gallon, dip the dowel, notch the dowel at the water line, repeat.
I use a small dowel every time for the MLT and used a big one to figure out my boiler. You can also use such a dowel to measure these losses below valves and such.
I do the hour check to see if I'm on track. Usually the wind is the determining factor in any boil rate change. This sets me up for the aroma hop additions so I know if the last 15 - 20 minutes is on track.tom_hampton said:Boiloff is a recipe parameter too me--- so, i control it. Every 7 minutes or so I assess and adjust my flame to reach my target boiloff.
