Looks delish!

Nice! Nothing like seeing a big pot of wort on the boil tickles a brewers fancies in anticipation for tasty things to come.
That is a full boil kettle. That will build up the pipeline.
Maxed kettle here as well no boil over ironically.
My wife would suggest placing a wooden spoon across the top to keep it from boiling. It works with her kitchen cooking, not sure I’d try it with 6 gallons of boiling sugar water though.Maxed kettle here as well no boil over ironically.

Given there's no physical way it could work, I don't think I'd try it either. Control the flame, stir, or spray with a water sprayer. Or better, get a big enough kettle to contain the hot break.My wife would suggest placing a wooden spoon across the top to keep it from boiling.

She swears by it. Whenever she’s got something boiling on the stove, rest assured, there’s a wooden spoon spanning the top of whatever pot she’s cooking with. I refuse to believe the “Magic” behind it, but she has showed me what happens when you remove the spoon....Given there's no physical way it could work, I don't think I'd try it either.

Generally, I'd guess, she's not boiling a colloid of water, sugars, dextrines, proteins.... I'm familiar with the spoon across the pot - it was an old wives' tale where I grew up. Pasta, well, I'll need to read your link to see if there's science behind it. And it does! Real physics! But it won't work with wort because our bubbles are much more stable, being made mostly from denatured protein, think meringue.She swears by it.

Ps. I’ll never try it with home brew.... just sayin...
What's that throw them in the water if they drown their not a witch if they float their a witch. Glad we don't live in them times no more!Kinda reminds me of water witching.
