    first brew questions/concerns

    Hey all. My first brew I'm using a midwest oatmeal stout extract kit with specialty grains. 1. Steeping went fine (30 mins @ 150 degrees). My problems starting when I tried to get the wort boiling. I read it was better to do as much of a full boil as possible, so I started with 3 1/2 gallons...
