I just got my last bit of equipment to start homebrewing today. So today I decided to test my stove and my brew kettle to see how much water I could boil and in what amount of time. I was able to boil 4 gallons in a 32qt stainless steel pot on an electric stove using 2 burners, however it wasn't a rolling boil, it was pretty soft. What effect will this have on my beer?
My first batch is a kit from midwest that has crushed specialty grains that need to be steeped followed by malt and hops.
I also noticed when I emptied the pot I could see rings from my burners on the bottom of the pot. Will this be harmful to batches? What is the best method to remove these rings? Is keeping heat on high the entire time to keep a boil a bad thing for the pot?
Thanks!
