Hey All,
Had a weird occurrence happen last weekend, and I'm curious what might be the cause...
We brew all grain with 3 kettles (HLT, Mash, Boil). We had what I believe was a really efficient mash. Everything hit at all the right moments, and things felt good. Then the boil hit, and we didn't boil off nearly as much as we typically do. For reference, typically we'll move roughly 7 gallons into the boil kettle from the mash/sparge, and boil off close to 2 gallons. However, on this brew, we boiled off only 1 gallon.
So the question I immediately had was: If our mash is more efficient, will we boil off less?
Any thoughts?
