So after my first two brews on a new 20bbl system I am perplexed.
Batch 1 - 23 bbls pre boil at 14.5P
21.75 bbls post boil at 14.5P
Batch 2 - 24bbls pre boil at 11.9P
23 bbls post boil at 11.5P
How is that even possible? Using brand new temperature adjusted hydrometers and refractometer. Getting a good rolling boil at 212.5F, condensate dripping out of the kettle stack condensate line, and seeing good amounts of steam outside coming out of the kettle stack.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
