A few weeks ago I made an IPA and for the first time I did a full 5 gallon boil. It took forever to get all of that liquid up to a rolling boil. In the past I've boiled about 2.5 gal and added water to bring it up to 5 gal.
I'm very pleased with the results of this batch, but I'm wondering if it was really worth the trouble of boiling all 5 gallons.
