So I brewed another batch of beer yesterday (Conundrum Session IPA extract kit by Northern Brewer). So far all of my 5 gallon brews start with 2.5-3.0 gallons of water to create the wort, then of course I need to top off in the fermentor with water. I was wondering if there is anyone who does a full boil for a 5 gallon extract brew and if so what are your experiences? Part of me thinks if you have a pot big enough it might be worth attempting, but I'm not sure if its worth it or not. Plus what are the benefits if any?
I have a 7.5 gallon brew pot I use. Is that big enough to attempt a full boil? Again what are the benefits and is it worth it?
Thanks in advance everyone!
