I remember that!
Ask Elaine, but I think in John's Recipe (sp) a boil over is required!

The wort has to boil for an hour, and you want the pot as full as possible, so you don't have to add much water back. Inevitably, a full pot that boils for an hour always boils over. I guess the more beers you make, the less you boil over. Our boil over went unnoticed, but later a guy next to us boiled over, and everyone gathered around to give him a hard time.

A boilover ensures that you get a good hot-break and your proteins form and settle to the bottom. C'mon folks, it is elementary!
