I'm doing my first ever brew next weekend and I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row.
I'm doing an AG brew and have read most everyone say that you need to compensate for boil off by shooting for starting the boil with 6 to 6.5 gallons of wort in order to get around 5 gallons by the end of the boil. Couldn't that be cured by simply covering the brew pot during boiling, or is that a no-no for some reason? Thanks!
