I have a polarware 40 qt pot as my boil kettle. Thought I should confirm the evaporation rate of the kettle for brewing software. I have a measure stick already marked. I started with 8 gal water. When it came to a rolling boil I started the 60 min timer. At the end of the boil it had boiled off 1.75 gal. Doesn't that seem alittle high. The norm seems to be .75 gal or thereabouts. I know the test didn't lie. Was just wondering what some other brewers are getting for an evaporation rate. Thanx.
