So I'm going to be moving next weekend and I'll have to rethink my brewing.
Currently, I'm doing extract brews on my stovetop. Boilovers....who cares. You see, the duplex I live in is scheduled to be demolished in a few months. So when I move I have to do zero clean-up. However, my new place I won't have this ability. I'll have to brew someplace besides the stovetop.
Here's what I'm thinking:
1. I have a big plastic cuttingboard. I could purchase an electric burner, place it on the cutting board and brew. Boilovers wouldn't be that big of a deal.
2. Brew at work. I work in a 50's style burger joint that my family has owned for 30 years. Brewing after hours is no big deal. The drawback is bringing 5 gallon buckets full of beer home. I can see this being a huge PITA!
3. Purchase an outdoor propane burner. This is what a lot of people do (so I've read). The drawback is brewing in the winter here in Oregon. I brew at night mainly and brewing in the dark while it is cold as heck will only make me brew less. I can already see it.
So I'm leaning towards purchasing an electric burner.
Is brewing inside with propane feasible?
Do electric burner totally suck ass?
Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My new quadplex has a smallish garage that will be pretty much taken up by my toy car. SOME storage available in garage but not much.
