I finally got around to calculating my equipment + trub loss and I figured out it’s a whopping 1.1 gallons. I have about a quart (~1 liter) loss to trub in the kettle and the rest of it seems to be lost in the counterflow chiller and tubing.
Oh, and the hop absorption... (last batch had 3 ounces pellet hops)
It seems really high but I had 5.8 gallons left in the kettle after boiling and I only had 4.7 gallons in the fermenter!
Does this seem reasonable or should I think of tweaking my setup?
