SO, I cook a lot and am used to recipes, BUT when I look at recipes here I am constantly seeing "Boil at 154F for X amount of time" and I am so very very confused.
To get a boil here at sea level I sure thought it was 212F. I have made 2 batches of beer and I kept it at the 154-160 some-odd Farenheit for the recommended times, but I never got to a full boil.
The first batch tasted good and disappeared rapidly, but now I am worried that I have managed to poison my friends and family (and myself). Since I would like to KEEP having friends and family- I would really like to get some info and my basic research has yet to show: "Hey Dummy- BOIL for X amount of time, then reduce to X degrees for the remainder"
So PLEASE help! I am having fun, but I would really like to have fun and yet not potentially murder anyone.
Cheers,
A "Moran"
