I did a few kits with full boil that were designed for partial boil. I'm finding that as they sat and conditioned for longer times in the bottle I am now getting impossible, annoying amounts of foam/head.
Is it possible that doing the steeping grains in a 5 gallon boil extracted too much foam-producing magic juice? It's drinkable, tastes good, but as time passed I've gotten so much head that you can pour a half sip into the glass (tipped etc.) and it FILLS to the brim of a pint with head.
I like the idea of doing the full boil for hop utilization, but I may go back to doing the Northern Brewer measured amount for the extract kits.
