I was curious what the general thought was around boil vigor and length. I started brewing full volume boils this year with 2 extract brews and now I've just finished up my 4th AG. The last 3 batches were a belgian style basically the same with minor adjustments for experimentation. None of them are ready to drink yet unfortunately so I don't know the results of my experiments.....Patience is a virtue I struggle a little with....
What if any effect have you folks seen with different boiler vigors? I've tried cranking the turkey frier up as high as it'll go and anywhere in between but haven't seen much difference in break material. Am I just wasting gas and evaporating a ton of water trying to run a very vigorous boil? All my boils have been 60 minute boils but are 90 minute or 2 hour boils better or does it just depend on the style you're brewing?
