I'm asking as a beginning brewer.
After the mash it seems like I've got perfectly fine wort just waiting to be fermented. I mean havn't I extracted most of the sugars from the grain, into my water, during the mash ? Why should I boil for an extra hour ?
Seems to me like I am losing a lot of valuable wort to evaporation during the boil.
