My kettle and new burner.....overkill?

Hey there home brewers, I have a question. I am new to home brewing and have only done 3 batches of extract so far. I have been doing all my brewing indoors on the kitchen gas range but my wife is complaining of the smell (although I think it is wonderful) so I decided to move my brewing...

Good review! I recently noticed this has become available at a local grocery store. Will have to try it.

Thanks to you and all the other home brewer posts! I wanted to share this to give you all a good laugh and to alert other home brewer rookies to take caution. It may not happen your first, or second batch (like me), but let your guard down, it probably will get you at some point. Bigger...

Actually, if you look close I only got about half the 1 oz bag in before I realized the imminent boil over and stopped adding....obviously was too late though but at least I saved half of the warrior hops. :)

The thing that I didn't mention in the video description is that, sadly, I had a spray bottle and femcap S on hand. I let my guard down after my previous two batches I never had a problem when adding the hops; obviously this time was a whole different story. :-\ Just goes to show that no two...

Yeah, it was probably a good thing I stopped the camera while I was cleaning up the mess. A lot more colorful metaphors were exiting my mouth while I was cleaning up. ;-)

BTW, I am planning to brew from now on outdoors. :) My wife doesn't care for the smell (even before the boil over and the hot burnt caramalized smell). I for one think there is no better smell than a boiling wort with a fresh hop addition! I am thinking of going with the Hurricane...

Funny thing is, I had the femcap S bottle nearby but not on hand. I certainly let my guard down. The timing of the honking is pretty funny. ;-)

I used a Canon Rebel T1i SLR.

Again, this was my third batch...my first batch I was SO PARANOID of having a boil over. I had the femcap S, the spray bottle, all ready and nothing ever happened. However, I was boiling at about 213 F while this time I was boing at 215 F....what a difference 2 F makes! :)

Okay, so my buddies died laughing at me when they watched this video I posted to youtube. I was documenting my third batch of homebrew and the dreaded boil over happened. Hope this puts a smile on your face; it did theirs. Don't let this happen to you!!
