Haven't brewed in 12 years (marriage and kids got in way) but am getting back to it. I'm brewing now and I'm not getting a hotbreak even though I've got a nice rolling boil. I wanted to see if it's because I'm trying a few things differently.
I'm doing a late malt addition to have my triple be somewhat light colored. I'm also reconstituting the bitter hops in hot wort in a bowl before adding to the pot. Finally I'm using a 10gal pot with 3 gal of water in it and a stainless steel bazooka in there.
So I've got 3.15 lbs of Maillard Malts® Pilsen Malt Extract Syrup, 1 lb Belgian candi sugar, the hops, and 1 lb of liquid sugar. Nice constant boil but no boil over at all.
Is this expected, or is there something I did wrong? Do you have to have a hot break?
Any advice is appreciated.
