Alright, newbie brewer here, 5-6 batches.
My question is this...
I have seen many places that talk about how the extract kit recipes are designed for 2-3 gallons and then you top up at the end. So I have been doing between a 3-4 gallon boil, splitting my extract additions instead of adding them all at once.
I want to know, is it going to HURT anything if I do a full batch boil? For instance if I get a larger boil bucket, a 5 gallon recipe kit (From Norther Brewer I might add), and boil 6 gallons so at the end I end up with 5?
Any advice would be great! I'm planning on doing a partial mash soon and just want to find a little info.
Peace
