Call me an idiot if you must... but after years of doing partial boil extracts and always wonder "what would happen if I boiled all 5 gallons?"... I finally found a great thread on this site relating to this topic. Now with my recently purchased wort chiller I'm ready to give it a shot.
I spent some time on the Beer Recipitator web site and played around with the recipe. Seems I could pull back on the hops a bit if I wanted, but may not even be necessary with this brew.
Any other suggestions as I attempt my first full (almost probably boil about 4.5 gal) boil? Is it worth attempting a late DME addition also, this is new to me too and want to try it but maybe I should only make one change at a time.
