I'm fairly new to home brewing and wondered what others think about whether or not to use a lid when brewing wort. Early on I was so phobic about boil overs that I left it off. I had to use a higher flame to keep the boil going and I lost wort to evaporation. My last couple batches I decided to try brewing with a lid on the pot. I was able to keep it over a lower flame and lost very little wort. I would tend to think the later is the better method. What do you do? And why?
