Hello. I¨m new to this beer brewing thing. I love beer and got tired of industrial beers, so I tought I should try brewing my own.
So to get started I bought the least expencive elektric bolier I could fine and some other stuff. I have brewed 5 batches.
Now to my question: all videos I see or could find on the internet is with open boil at high effekt much boil of. It there a reason for this? or does it work just fine with boil with lid?
If anyone has any knowlage about this I will appreciate your input.

- Stout- boiled according to recipe at 2000W, no lid. Way to much boil off and OG higher than wanted. ( It tasts okay and can pass for an Imperial stout )
- Saison- Boiled under lid at 500W, OG in the naiborhood according to recipe, but somthing has gone wrong, Not drinkable.
- Weissbeer- boiled under lid at 500W, OG spot on, Tasted fantastic when it came out of fermentation. ( It's now on bottles have to wait until saturday for chilling and taste) I have high hopes for this one.
- and 5: Stout and Saison: boild under lid, Saison OG okay Stout OG low. Ferments now.
