Hey guys and girls.
When you do a brew with a kit, but want more hops for more bittering, or you do an extract brew and do all you own hopping, how much water do you boil on the stove to boil the hops in?
For a 24L brew, if I boil hops in 2L of water with some DME to make SG about 1040, will I get the same IBU's as if I had boiled it in 5L? 10L? the whole 24L?
Obviously I would like to have to boil as little as possible with the desired effects.
I don't boil the whole thing (and I assume most of you don't either).
Cheers for advice. Haven't done an all extract brew yet but keen to start planning one.
