Funny how the zinc didn't change, but everything else nearly trippled fairly evenly across the board. Did you take the evaporation rate into account? Boiling doesn't just concentrate sugars.

Well there are a lot of factors including evaporation. I got about 10% evaporation on that batch. Calcium and magnesium bind to phosphate which is released by phytic acid. Zinc coagulates with proteins and ends up in the trub but I added wyeast yeast nutrient which I am going to assume has zinc in it but I am not sure how much. There is some grain absoprtion and there are some minerals in the malt.
