The reason I ask is because I seemingly made a n00b mistake yesterday whilst brewing my BIG Russian Imperial Stout extract kit (1.070-1.080 OG per the instructions). I know that I did everything like I have been the last few batches I made, did nothing different except that I added the LME without the burners on, yes I normally do it with them cranking full tilt and have yet to have seen any evidence of burning. This time I ended up with roughly 6 square inches (not 6 inches square) of burned extract on the bottom of the pot. Granted there was a lot of LME in this kit ( 6.6lbs LME, 2lbs specialty steeping grains, 2lbs Dark DME) but what I am guessing is that I returned it to the heat too quickly and there was a film on the bottom of the pot which scorched, in the shape of the burner...
So, whats your story, how much burned extract have you made appear on your pot and how did the beer turn out?
