I know it's a bit dumb asking this question after i have got the 50l keg sorted but, before i buy a burner and make a chiller i must ask the question-
Is a full volume (23 litre) boil that much better than a 15 litre boil?
I only ask, as i can't see that it would make that much diff. I guess u may need a bit more hops to acheive required bitterness in a 15l boil, but if the mash is still the same amount, it is just the 7 or so litres make up water in the fermenter.
Who has done both and what are your thoughts :blink:
