So I want to do a full boil for my next beer, but my one concern is if my pot is quite big enough. I have a 32 quart pot and when I fill it with six gallons it has about three inches of empty space in the pot. I do not know if that is cutting it too close to do a full six gallon boil and if I should do a partial boil? I am just afraid of boiling over and do not want that to happen. Please give me some advice.
Also on my first two batches when I was steeping and boiling the hops I did not cover the pot. I was just thinking about it and wondering should I cover the pot when I am doing this. Or does it not really matter? Just trying to improve my techniques. Thanks for the advice everyone.
