Boiling Advice

  • A simmer is good enough.

  • A gentle boil is perfectly OK.

  • You need a rolling (or roiling) boil to form hot break.

  • The hot splatter should scorch the skin off your legs.

Now I dont nuke the wort but I do boil like Biermuncher I feel it keeps the wort moving in the keggel and the temps more even through out the wort







Damn I hope you use good gloves handling that keggle biermuncher . I dont think that one is OSHA approved...
 
I boil as hard and fast as my system allows, then reduce it to a rolling boil. You have to form the break and I keep it going for the first 15. When I do late hop additions I turn it off before the last few minutes.

Same here. Once I get it rock n' rolling Biermuncher style for a while, I back down a bit until it's rolling strongly but not violently. Like you see here:

To revive this topic.
I have found this research since 1971. in which it was proven that any boil is not necessary.
