The extract recipes I've been using call for steeping the grains in 2 gal water and then adding rest of ingredients and boiling for designated time.
Is there any advantage/reason for using more water for boiling wort? What happens if I do a 4 gallon boil and then just top off with whatever amount is needed to get to 5 gallons after cooling wort?
Thanks all!
