Hi HBT community!
Great place to learn about homebrewing! And I got a question.
So I went out and got a brewing kettle that's way to big (40qt), which has been working fine sofar. I'll be brewing a new batch this weekend and the recipe is for 5gal. So my question is, since my kettle holds more than 5gal, shall I boil 5gal wort rather than the usual 3gal wort or do I stick to boiling 3gal (topping it off with 2gal of H2O once it's in the fermentor) Does this makes sense?
Thanks
