Hello All:
I am ready to brew my first batch of beer, however, I've been reading and everyone reccomends a full boil whenever possible. My questions:
Everything I've read indicates I'll need to adjust the hops from the recipe. I am using a Brewers Best kit for their Imperial Pale Ale. What modifications do I need to make to the recipe to do a full boil?
Is 6 gallons enough to start the boil or should I up it to 6.5 (I am using a 30qt. container)?
Finally, am I getting too complicated for my first time? Should I simply follow the recipe and go with 2.5 gallons?
