Getting ready to do my first all grain batch in a couple of weeks. 5.5 gallon batch. My boil pot is a 30 quart turkey fryer. I would like to start with 7.0 gallons, but that really takes my pot to the top.
What I am thinking of doing, is starting the boil with about 5.5 gallon. Doing hop additions as needed, and adding the extra 1.5 gallons of wort to the boil pot as it boils down.
Goal is to have 5.5 gallons of boiled wort at the end of the boil (after 60 minutes). Has anybody else ever done it this way? Is there any issues?
Thanks,,
John
