The dynamics of evaporation can be complex, so the percentage is just an approximation, works well enough for the typical case of brewing a batch, but breaks down in the extreme cases of complete boil-off. As part of dialling in your equipment for a given batch size, recording the actual boil-off can then be used to better plan future batches of the same batch size. | |
