Howdy all. Haven't been here for a LONG time. Life has been kicking me around.
Any who way....
I've been brewing when I can, not as often as I like, but enough to keep me from buying more bottles with free beer in them.
As some of you old timers recall, I like playing around and finding New things to do.
I've moved around a bit sense leaving Texas, and have settled in Washington.
Some of my equipment didn't quite survive the moves. One of those items was my spray bottle for the anti boil over of the wort.
What I've done of late (and yeah, I tried that bit with placing a wood paddle over the pot...it worked ONCE, and then, well, lets just say I tried other options), anyway...on with my ramblings...
when the wort gets up to about 200 degrees, I start swirling the wort. you'll note it starts to bubble in the middle where there is less mass. I keep the swirl going (not necessarily using the paddle continuously) but just insure it swirls.
I do this though the Break, and avoid boil over.
I've done this for the last 8 batches with 100% success.
So, I'm just putting it out there for others to see.
As always, this is just information. If it works for you, as the Hat says, then, it's right for you.
