Going to try my first full boil for my next batch of Irish Red. My kettle is 6.5 gallons so I'm hoping that a 5.5 gal full boil will leave me enough insurance room for boilovers.
I've been reading a lot about late addition of LME to reduce some of the caramelization. Does the amount added change when doing a full boil? I was planning on adding 1/3 of the LME to the steeped grain tea, boil for 50 min, then add the remaining 2/3 LME and boiling for another 10 minutes.
Going to have my wort chiller in for the last 10 min too for sterilization. Could prove interesting trying to stir in the late addition LME with it in there!
