I was wondering if its preferable to steep your grains in the full 6 gallons of water, or in a smaller volume and then add the wort to your boil kettle with the rest of the water and extract? Help is much appreciated!
If my extract brewing instructions calls for boiling in 2.5g and then pouring the wort into a bucket of 2.5g of cold, unflavored water, my question is this: Can you just cook with 5gal and not have to add unflavored water to the mix? I just feel like that would be watering down my brew and that weighs on me.
Plus the really nice 10gl ss kettle with built in thermometer is inches above the wort when cooking. So I would have to either cook 2 kits at once, or raise the water on one kit.
Any help would be appreciated as I am cooking again three Sundays from now...
