I was attempting my boil extract this last weekend, and i got a pretty good boil going. Accroding to the recipe the wort was supposed to foam (it didnt) unless i put the lid fully on the pot...
That's when it boiled over...good god it was a mess.
My second part to this post is... because i had to take the lid off, most of the wort coverted to steam... and i only had like 2 gallons of wort at the end of the boil. Is that supose to happen? i ended up filling the rest of the fermenter up with water so it got back up to it's 5 1/4 gallon requirement.
Did i ruin something? Will it be stronger/weaker?
(god i hate being a n00b)
