I just got an Irish Red Ale kit from morebeer and I had a question about boil size. Right now I am limited to about 2.5 gallon partial boils. All of the extract with this kit comes as 7 lbs. LME. The 7 lbs of LME take up about 1-1.5 gallons in volume. Does this mean I should begin the boil with about 1 gallon water until I get it rolling then add the 7 lbs LME to make the final boil volume 2.5 gallons? Is that correct or is the actual volume of liquid that the 7 lbs LME donates less after all the sugars are dissolved? Really appreciate this help, haha.
