Would it hurt (or help) to make 3 gallons of wort and then add it to 2 gallons cold water, instead of making 1.5 gallons and adding it to 3.5 gallons of cold water?
I've been reading about a full boil or a partial boil... this would sort of make an "in between" point of the two, heh... becuase 5 gallons needs a huge pot, and would take a long time to actually get boiling.
But 3 would be a little more managable... anyone ever try this? Any benefit?
