Well, I think I'm going to have to move brewing from inside in the kitchen to outside in the car port. My wife fully supports any hobbies I get into and doesn't mind me brewing, but she says the smell lingers in the house too long after I brew and asked if I can move it outside. No problem, an outdoor burner is on order and on its way.
My question is, how do you keep all the bugs and such from blowing into your brew kettle while it's boiling? I was thinking of leaving the lid on while it boils, but I read that it will increase DMS. I was thinking of buying a sheet of stainless mesh and make a sort of cover similar to a splatter guard screen but with an opening for the immersion chiller. Hoping that the DMS laden steam won't condensate and drip back into the kettle. Would this work?
