So I've been searching and couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Maybe I wasn't using the right search criteria. Here's my question.
Is it feasible to boil your wort down to 4.5 to 5 gallons, from 7 to 9 gallons, before doing your hop additions? This way i could cool it off with ice instead of other methods. Would or could this scorch the wort? Would this just take way too long? Or is there something else?
And yes for the time being I'm being cheap and don't want to buy/make a chiller. If this isn't something with pursuing I'll settle on an bath and time.
