I am just getting into AG brewing and building a e-keggle setup.
I have been reading about hop utilization being lower in high OG beer and also where people are concerned about utilization issues using the hop sock. I came up with an idea to take a few gallons of the second sparge run-off and use that to boil the hops in the hop sock in a second stove top pot to get the most of my hops in high OG beers.
Anyone do this? Besides another pot to wash, are there any disadvantages to this?
