Unfortunately I didn't find out until after that going from the partial boil to full boil, I should have reduced the amount of bittering hops included in the kit, but hopefully it will be OK.
I just completed a wort chiller. I found 50' of 3/8" ACR cooper at the metal scrap yard for $27. I will be using a submersible pump to recirculate ice water. I'm working on a stir plate for my yeast starters.
