So I brewed my second batch this weekend and I think all went well.
I did notice however, that I never really achieved a strong, rolling boil. I started out with a pretty good boil but then I added my LME and first hops and it just kinda subsided. The pot was obviously hot, and looking closely at the wort, it was evident that stuff was "moving around" in there (could see little hop pieces moving and so on). However the water wasn't bubbling like it would if I was making soup or pasta.
Anyways, I think everything turned out fine. It was a 90minute boil and the beer is fermenting away like crazy right now (24 hours after racking). Just curious as to why my boil never seemed to take off and whether other people experience this.
