I am having issues with the volume of water going into my boil pot! I can measure the volume going into my mash tun(cooler). I batch spare so I am having issues measuring the amount of water coming out, and ultimately my boil volume. I thought of just using a measuring cup but as the hot liquid comes out but at 150 degrees I don't want to get burnt. I measured my deadspace at about 1 quart and I get another 2 quarts out of the mash tun while the boil happens. Not sure if that is considered deadspace or not? Is there a way to measure (inexpensively) the wort coming out, or do I just need the dial in my system and math procedures.
My last batch I added 7.25 gallons to 13 pounds of grains and got back approximately 6.5 in my boil. I will need to very my "deadspace" but any ideas?
