Okay so I'm moving to full boils... likely with a 6 gallon final yield.
I was reading this article (see #3)...
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/10-tips-better-extract-brewing-100861/
...and noticed that one of the reccomendations for a liquid malt extract brew is to turn off the burner while the LME is being stirred in. This got me thinking... is there any reason why I could not add the LME before the propane burner is lit?
The idea would be this:
(1) Steep specialty grain in small batch of water
(2) Add 5-6 gallons of water to boil kettle
(3) Add water from specialty grain steeping
(4) Stir in LME
(5) Start propane burner, begin boil
Any problems with this? It seems it would avoid the carmelization issues discussed in the article...
