I'm about to do my first full boil. I'd also like to see an answer to this. Welcome!

Thanks. I'm adventurous enough to give it a try. :D

The recipe from AHS for their Northwest Cascadian Dark Ale calls for a three gallon boil and then add the rest of the water at the end after the wort has been cooled. I am finally set up to do a full boil. Will doing a full boil vs a partial be a problem? :confused:

I will. Was supposed to be there today, but things came up and another crew went down. Be six months before I get another chance.

I don't live too far away. Sixth Ave and Pine area! Welcome!

Ahhhh...Vacaville. Spent many days in the Residence Inn there while working at Travis this year. Welcome!

I was looking for flavor as well. So far it the hops are upfront with some sweetness hitting me on the back end. I would do it a bit differently, next time and add the honey at flameout. I read that the heat is also not good for the flavor. Not sure about that because I can definitely taste...

I just did a similar brew only with 2 lbs of clover honey. 4 weeks in the jug and a week in the bottle. Similar experience, but not as much carbonation yet.

I don't want to be critical, but I can't imagine pouring a good stout into a frozen mug! :)
