I did my first full boil last weekend in my new SS brew pot. I brought the temp up in what I thought was a reasonable amount of time - I had specialty grains to steep so I stopped at 160° for 30 minutes then up to boiling.
I never had any boil over but did maintain a good rolling boil for the entire hour. After I was all done and got around to the clean up I noticed that I had a silver dollar sized spot of scorched wort in the center of my pot (bummed - I hate anything burnt)
Is this common when boiling wort on a propane burner? Does it matter (I would think yes)? If so, how do you prevent it? Should I set a steel plate on top of the burner and then the pot on top of that?
Just tryin' to do it right...
