Did my first full boil AG batch this past weekend. Started with about 7.5g, and landed at about 6 over an hour & 15 min which was exactly what I was expecting.
Although I had no issues getting the 7.5g to a rolling boil, after about 40min it was down under 7g, but wasn't "rolling" anymore. It was boiling, just not vigorously. My range was on "high" the entire time, and the beer always maintained at least 212*, although when it was rolling it was at 214*.
I'm a little worried that as the water boiled off and the wort became more and more dense, although there was less volume, the stove couldn't keep up with the density any more. This would mean that doing beers with higher OGs via this method may be problematic.
Thoughts?
Anyone else ever seen it where a boil went from rolling to gradually not over the course of a brew?
TIA!
