I was cleaning my new wort chiller by boiling .5 gallons of vinegar and 2.5 gallons of water in my 5 gallon steel pot and it took what seemed to be a really long time. I have a gas stove top and the temperature went up like this....
degrees - minutes
130 - 27
150 - 37
170 - 51
190 - 70
205 - 85
never got to a full boil, but i did see some tiny bubbles on the bottom of the pot. I had to stop after about 100 minutes. Am i just being impatent. I cant imagine how long this might have taken with the extract in there.
Should i brew with just a 2 gallon boil?
