It took me 43 minutes for my wort to reach a boil last night. Is this a long time and does it really matter?
Here's my setup:
SS 8 gallon pot, Bayou Classic burner, had about 6 gal of wort. I do all- grain so wort was in 130 deg. range when sparging was done. It was quite windy last night, I boil on my back patio.
I feel like 43 min is a long time to reach a boil but I have never had a boil-over and don't plan to. But does the beer benefit any from a smaller pre-boil lag time?
