Is there any difference between dumping 7 lbs of liquid extract to the pot with 2 gallons of hot water (started to boil, then was removed from the range), and first adding some cool water to the extract to make it thinner, and then adding this thinned extract to the hot water? I tried both ways, and they look the same to me, although I have just started, and may be missing something. In other words, what do the experienced folks do, and what are pros and cons of these two approaches?
