My stove takes a long time to bring my wort to a boil. I've noticed during my last couple brew sessions that when I add half the DME just a little after steeping (usually @180 or so), the foam that gathers on the top helps to bring the wort to a boil quicker and then I add the rest of the DME. Will this "insulation" technique have any adverse effect on my batches?
The reason I'm asking is because I've heard some people say that you shouldn't cover your wort while bringing to a boil. Thought this might have a similar adverse effect.
