It does get to 212F but doesn't roll vigorously. It has no problem getting an equal volume of water to a rolling boil, but I think the viscosity of wort increases the energy requirement for a good boil. That's exactly what I have, LOL. 1800W Maybe I'll go back to my induction unit for future...

I was doing induction before this batch, and still use it for the HLT but for boiling I just barely get a roll beneath a layer of scum, after wrapping my kettle in 5 layers of reflectix. I thought a better boil may increase hop bitterness and reduce some of the DMS, but I’m not really sure if...

Omg thanks everyone, this was the problem exactly! Went from 90F to rolling boil in an hour. I also worried about running out of gas but if that happens I can throw it on the induction stove: it works with a ton of reflectix though not quite as vigorous a boil. Cheers, Jen

Thanks! I hope that is the problem, I'll try that and post result :)
