Paul, the figures I have for my 20L BM are;
60 min boil = 3.4l
80 min boil = 4.26l
90 min boil = 5.4l
I am currently using the 80 minute profile which for me, is proving to be quite accurate.
I do suggest you measure and take notes of your machines performance as there will be variable with each brewing situation. ie; cross breezes near the kettle if you brew outside, use of the insulated jacket etc.
I currently have my grain absorption set at .6600 in Beersmith which I feel is close but I suggest you measure your result over the first few brews as others have differing figures.
I can say that my figure varies slightly with different types of grains.
The default for Biab in Beersmith is .5850 from memory but that is easily checked as it is stated in the relevant window of the software.
I am on my ipad at the moment and the Beersmith version for Ipad doesn't state that figure, or at least I cant find it on The Ipad version.
The diameter of the kettle is posted elsewhere on this forum but I cant find it at the moment.
I will measure both dimensions later today for you and get back to you.
Cheers
The worst thing that can happen if I die is that my wife will sell all my brewing equipment for what I told her I paid for it
