i have a 20 gallon pot and will be using propane burner, getting up to a boil won't be an issue and i also have an immersion chiller for cooling it down.
would there be any kind of a rule of thumb for reducing the amount of hops?
This isn't much of an issue in a beer like a stout, where it's not terribly bitter anyway, but in something that is heavily bittered, like in an IPA
appreciate the help. i'll stick with a partial boil.
I wouldn't. If you can go full boil, why wouldn't you? It makes a nice 'clean' tasting beer, compared to a partial boil. If you can't, of course the beer will still be good, but in my experience I've found that the bigger you can go, the better the beer.
A 4 gallon boil seems to be better than a 2 gallon boil, in the 'texture' of the finished beer and having less of an 'extract'y' taste, and a full boil seems to be best of all in the ones I've tasted.
