Been out of home brewing for sometime but I am getting back into and doing it right this time. Keg setup gets here tomorrow and Keezer will be in place in a few weeks!
Im brewing this weekend and have read about the benefits of doing a full 5 gal boil for extract kits and doing late malt additions. IF I split the boil between two pots 2.5 gal a piece can the same results be achieved.
Essentially bring 2.5 gal of water to a boil but 1/2 the malt extract in boil for 15 minutes.... cool and put in fermenter.
Another 2.5 gal do a full 60 minute boil with hop additions... adjusted for the lower gravity with only half the extract bill.
Does this make sense or am I over complicating the process for no reason.
Either way fresh beer on tap in a few weeks!!!!
