    Other uses for cocked up brews

    Wort boiling temps

    Bit of a niggle really with last weekends brew and my equipment. Usually in the past I hit 104c before getting a boil and that's usually where it stays for the 60/90min, just that my last brew was more 105/106c. I still live at 440meters above sea level, so could it be a slightly...
