Hello,
Been homebrewing about 9 months and I'm slowly but surely refining the process. I tried to do a clone recipe for an oatmeal chocolate stout, and my mash went perfectly (my first great mash actually), only to be perfectly ruined when my boil when horribly.
1) Collected 7 gallons of wort
2) started my propane burner up with a high setting
3) started the 120 min boil as instructed
4) had a boil over or two (my bad), but nothing significant
5) at the end of the boil I had maybe ... 1 gallon of wort?
What did I do wrong? Did I boil it too hot? The boil never really ever calmed down, it stayed very bubbly if you will, which I suspect suggests what the issue was.
Any help? I'm still learning how to properly use my burner.
Cheers,
Rob
