I am new to brewing (have my third batch in bottles and my fourth fermenting) but I have caught the bug big time! I have been reading the Papazian book (Complete Joy of Homebrewing) and that is about the extent of my knowledge, other than the little bit I've picked up here and at homebrew supply shops. Charlie seems to advocate boiling with two gallons, but...
I just learned about "Full Boils" this past weekend. Can someone tell me if it is safe to attempt a Full Boil (5 gallon) in a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer pot or will it boil over?
My second question would be if it's not safe, what about boiling 4 gallons and adding it to my glass carboy containing the other gallon? Could the carboy withstand the shock?
Thanks all!!
