So after I add my extract (only my second brew) it takes like 30 minutes to get it back to a rolling boil. So the question is:
If the recipie calls for one hour boiling, do I consider 200 like close enough, or wait till I have a full rolling boil before I start the timer?
The reason I'm asking is that my wort winds up on the stove for like 3 hours!!
EDIT: I like to do a full boil as I see brewing beer "similar" to brewing coffee, you wouldnt add water to your coffee to fill up your cup cause that would change the way it tastes and dillute it. So why would you do it to your brew? just my 2 cents on full boil vs partial.
