Currently boiling my first extract brew

[SilverAnalyst]

Well I'm 20 minutes into the boil and I've been stirring it often.

Do I need to stir it regularly? Any tips?

I hope this one turns out alright as it's my first extract brew.

I've not done an extract brew, but I find that boils tend to stir themselves.

Thanks for the info!

How hot should I have it?

How hot should I have it?

Probably too late now, but you need a good rolling boil to extract the bitterness from the hops and ensure a good hot break.

I'm done now; I think it was a success. Thanks for you help!
