I've read threads on doing a full boil is preferable to a partial... so, would splitting up my 12 lbs of extract (yes, a HUGE beer) to two 2.5 gallon boils be okay? First boil, half the LME, with all the hop additons then cool and put into the fermentor. Second boil, just the LME for about 15 min or so to sanitize then add to the first in the fermenter? Then continue as normal?
Also, I am hopping this would cut down on time since my burners on my stove aren't the best. Less water = faster boiling?
