Ok, I spent the last couple of hours reading "electric vs. propane" threads. All very informative, covering most differences between both: efficiency, ease of use, etc.
What I want to know is, is there any difference in the quality of the brew?
My point is:
Electric HE's work at a much higher temperature than 212*F.
1. Do they contribute any off flavors (by caramelizing/burning the wort that touches them) in the brew?
2. Are they more difficult to clean up after brewing? Do they accumulate burnt up stuff on their surface?
On the other hand, obviously, a propane heated pot will be easier to clean up than an electric one.
3. Does the flame produce hot spots (and/or, burnt up deposits) on the inside of the pot?
Any other issue, with either system, that might affect the quality, taste, or stability of the beer?
Thanks in advance.
