Definition
Amount of wort volume lost due to evaporation during the boil period.
Evaporation Loss = (Evap/Hour / 100 ) * Wort Boil Duration * Kettle Volume
Example
An example would be if you have 0.67 Gallons entered in the Evap/Hour field, and you boil 6.74 gallons of wort for 1.5 hours, then the volume of water lost will be 1.01 gallons.
Evaporation Loss = 1.01gal = 0.67gal/h * 1.5h
