I have only done a few brews. One 5 gallon and two one gallon recipes.
In my reading around I came across something that said when making a 5 gallon batch to boil 5 gallons of wort. The instructions on my first 5 gallon brew said to only use 2.5 then add water afterwards to 5 gallons.
It makes seance to me that it would be better to do a full 5 gallon boil.(better infusions/mixture of ingredients) Are they any cons not to?
