I've been stalking for a while, love the knowledge here.
So I was wondering what people would consider the largest 'safe' amount of extract you can boil in a 7.5 gal pot? I'm looking for a final volume of 5 gal but I've been told by my LBS that 3 gal is probably the most I want to boil to avoid a boil-over. Seems a bit low to me, and I want to see how close to a full boil I can get to. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
