kgfitz, What you're saying would work, and you're right it will take a little longer to get everything up to temp. An extra couple of minutes would probably do well enough.
The disadvantage is that the wort will be that much darker after boiling it twice, and it's a whole lot more work. If...
Just thought I'd add that I measure out about 75g of DME with my drug dealer scale I use for hops and dump it into an empty quart jar. I drop in a few drops of anti-foam and fill with water to about 1/2 inch from the top. Put the lid on and process.
I'm also interested in the code, understanding that changes will be required to adapt it to my application. If you're still willing to share it could you point me to a place where I may download it, or e-mail it to [email protected]?
Thanks,
Joe.
