I have a 5 gallon pot and a 3 gallon pot and need to brew on an electric stove that I don't think could handle a 6 gallon boil. I'm going to do an extract kit and was wondering:
Would it be better to do a 4 gallon and 2 gallon split boil and mix it in the fermenter OR do a 4 gallon boil with late extracts and top off?
I guess I'm wondering if the extra work of the split boil would be noticable over a that large of a boil/top off.
After reading this post I have to think that it would be worth the effort:
