What size hole for qmax?

You are indeed correct! Mine also have TOP written on the bottom ooops! Would this cause them to be inefficient? Hopefully so then I can reduce my boil off rate!

possibly. I would imagine they are designed to work better the right way up:P

You should turn them the other way up and try a test boil

I will. Thanks :) I need to do some proper markings so will make use of the water a little!

I was always under the impression that keeping the lid on was really bad due to the moisture falling back into the wort. I'm assuming this is not the case then? Your boil off rate must be really low?

You're talking about DMS which can add a cooked vegetable flavour to your beer. However, I am lead to believe [by Aleman] that highly modified British malts have little in the way of the precursor that forms DMS so boiling with the lid mostly on is not actually a problem.

Interesting. Will try that!
