That's interesting i didn't know the boil drives out things. YouTube video interesting too, I may not have but lost my boil after all, but more so a very low simmer. What level is needed for the final wort boil, simmer, rolling boil, vigorous?
Do people do the boil with the lid on or off - if boil with lid on what evaporation rates do you generally see at which wattages?
As said in earlier post - my last brew i boiled with lid off, 10mins @2500W, 50min @2000W but seemed to lose the boil a third way into 50min step and had to put...

Hi Guys - I've decided to take the plunge and move from extract to all-grain after being shown a grain father in local homebrewshop. But to be honest I like a project (to keep me in the garage :)), so been toying with the idea of getting the equipment together myself - after much reading i do...
