Is it really necessary to boil the wort and hops? Bitterness extraction at 100 deg C is not likely to be more efficient than 95 deg C and the venting steam certainly carries away some of the bitterness. I tend to think that the flavour and aroma hop additions would be more effective at 95 deg C. An odd vigorous stir with a paddle should be enough. Has anyone done any experiments in this area, please?
