I have been reading some posts about how your boil size can affect your IBU. I have found that utilization drops considerably when only doing a 2gal boil vs a full boil. Is this true? Is there a way to maximize utilization when only doing partial boils? Is it different if I only have a 2 gal boil but rack the entire pot, including all the hop trub from the bottom of the kettle when I put it in my primary? Does keeping those hops involved after the boil is over help to increase the utilization at all? Don't want to waste those hops if I don't have to!
