How did it turn out?

I saw something about them yesterday.

Oh jeeze thank you.

Think reflective insulation wrapped around my kettle would help me get 5-6gallons boiling on my stove better?

Ah well dang.. yea it's just a basic electric stove. That 210-211 are the highest temps I have seen the kettle get.

That's what I am trying to get ATM. Concerned with my apartments rules. We aren't supposed to have grills on our patio or decks.

Oh really? I only have a 8 gallon kettle trying on the stove. I was worried the grains wouldn't leave me enough space for water. So, I got a mash tun. Now I'm realizing the possible issue with my temp.

Is that your hops in the bag?

Yea that about what I figured but that is just for about 4 gallons of water. And after sparging the calculator says I should have about 7.7 gallons.

Awesome that's what I thought thought. I'm pretty positive if I were to throw hops in it would boil up. Took about an hour hour n a half to get to that temp from 170.

This has hot as I've seen the water in my kettle get. Looks like 210.. but is bubbling and looks like a boil. I'm just not sure if it is.

Haha that's fair. Thanks

Oh. My last batch was an imperial blonde ale and took awhile to boil. It's alot darker than I imagined. And the og was 1.060 instead of expected 1.067-1.071. it was an ingredient kit I got from Amazon.

My bigger worry is possible birds flying over, bugs, anything that could fall off of my roof ig.
