I am questioning the limitation of my boil process since I relegated to a stovetop and two pots (5 and 3 gallon). So until now, I've done steeping/extract brews using partial boil/top offs with pretty good success. I boil 2.5-3 gallons of water and proceed from there.....boil, hop schedule, etc..
So, this week, I'm planning on brewing a Belgian Strong with the same tools using 9lbs DME and Candi Sugar, hops, etc... Should I stick with my current process, which has worked out well so far....OR, can I do a 'Full Boil' split between my two pots (5 and 3 gallon).
Long winded way of asking the group if there is a taste/quality distinction between full vs. partial, is it really worth it, and if it is, should I 'half' my recipe between two pots and combine into fermenter from there.
Thanks!
