Got a newbie question here for you all........
I have only brewed a couple of batches, so I am wondering why the kits start with 2.5gallons to boil, and then adding the remainder of the water after you chill the wort. Why can't you boil all 5 gallons at the same time, provided you have a large enough kettle? Plus wouldn't that solve the OG reading issues that some people deal with? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
