Thinking about a 10 gallon batch and had a couple of questions:
Assume I am starting with exactly 10 gallons at the hot break, after a 60 minute boil how much can I expect to loose? One might assume 2 gallons based on the fact you loose about 1 gallon on a 5 gallon boil, but somehow I don’t think that would be correct?
If your using the same pot and loose 1 gal for a 5 gal batch you will loose the same on a 10 gal batch or any size batch boiled in the same pot. Amount of boil off is mostly from surface area of the pot and vigor off the boil.
I recently went all in with a pump and CFC. Works well but I want to caution you. If you don’t have much time to brew or hate clean up stick with an IC. Clean up takes substantially longer.
