Wort boiling: proper evaluation of boil-off processes – Part 2: Confirmation of theory in industrial-scale tests

Evaporation can take place either by heating or by flashing wort. The validity of the equations shown in Part 1 is to be verified here by determining concentration reductions in components in industrial-scale operations. Contrary to the claims of some equipment manufacturers, the surface area available to wort during boiling has no influence on required overall evaporation. This is to be verified and confirmed in this Part 2 through measurements of component reductions.
