I've got an idea for an experiment

I've heard that a watched pot never boils.

I have actually watched a put till it boiled so I've proven that to be incorrect;)

+1.  Me too !  My first AG pot was 8 gallons (for 5.5 gallon batches) , so after collecting 7 gallons in the pot, I had to watch that mother like a hawk. Needless to say, I upgraded pretty quickly.

I've done several recirc's up to and throughout the boil. I didn't see any benefit to it- thought it would reach boiling faster at least. Perhaps on a larger scale it starts to demonstrate usefulness.

Yeah, I suspect that kramerogs assessment is accurate and it has to do with the heat source as well.

But an unwatched pot boils over. It's a catch 22.

But an unwatched pot boils over.

That I can confirm.  More than once.  Apparently I needed confirming data.

Well it was just something I heard. I guess you really do have to depend on your own experience
