Which method is better and why? My thoughts would be a fast vigorous boil to help extract flavor from the hops and allow the molecules to collide more often....or I could be thinking too much.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Boil it hard as you can.Also i have a question: does a boil get above 212?or does it just stop.Just figuring my dial guage thermometer calibration.
I thought I read where a more vigorous boil will result in better "breaking down" of protiens in the wort, which results in clearer beer. A less vigorous boil will result in a beer with better head retention, but probably more cloudy given all other conditions being equal.
I might be all wet, but I thought I read that fact on this forum somewhere.
