Having a hard time making the decision...
I'm getting ready to do a BIAB for the first time.
I live in an apartment, and my stove wouldn't be able to handle a full boil of five gallons, not to mention that I don't have a pot larger than 5 gallons...
If you were in my position, would you do a full boil for a final volume of 3 gallons, or do a partial boil for the full five?
I know the recipes (particularly hops) would be different, and can use brewsmith to figure the difference, that wouldn't a problem. If it matters, i'd be able to do the full 3 gallon boil sooner (don't have a 6 gallon primary vessel open until Tuesday, but have a 5 gallon bb open now)
