Have a question on extract brewing.
When I buy a pre-packaged kit they say to boil usually 2-1/2 to 3 gallons, add extract, add hops, cool, transfer to carboy then add remaining water to make the 5 gallons.
Why wouldn't I just bring 5-6 gallons to a boil and do the same as I do with all grain?
I can't see any reason to do the smaller boil except I can use a smaller pot.
Anyone know if there is a any reason?
Just wondering.
Thanks
