I recently bought an electric homebrewing kit that a guy in my area builds. They are pretty well built, however I had a difficult time getting the boil kettle to reach 100c. It would get to 99.2c at max power and still not reach 100.
I asked him what was up with it and he told me that the boiling point in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is 96. Indeed, the wort had a good roll to it, however, I wasn't able to find any information online that supported his statement. My main concern is that by not getting to 100c, perhaps I am not getting as good of a hotbreak as I could be. Is temperature not a good indication of boiling and instead a good roll a better measure?
Ho Chi Minh City is 19m above sea level but then then it is usually over 80% humidity and around 30c in the daytime. Can anyone confirm what he is telling me is true?
