First brew day complete!
Things went pretty well with one exception. The boil off rate was no where near what I got in my tests. In both the tests a one hour boil reduced by 1.5 gallons per hour and the actual brew was closer to .75 gallons per hour. My best guess is that the difference in density and the amount of humidity played a roll.... As a result this totally threw off my boil schedule and required an extra 30 minutes.
EDIT***
In hind sight.... I think I might have read the sight glass wrong while sparging and pumped 1/2 gallon too much in the boil kettle.....
