We have fermentation!

Crazy! My burner was on for like 4 hours.

I'll do that next time for sure. That will take a long time, but I guess you gotta give some to get some.

I'm thinking about the turkey fryer, but I have no clue what your second sentence even means.

Hmm. My recipient from more beer said to get it down to 130 and add cold water to get it to 70. I'd bet the water was no more than 80-90 MAX. In the warm areas.

My stove is a glass top...

Yeah I cooled it to 120 in an ice bath and then added water I had ready in my fridge. It just didn't mix well enough. I think I'll he fine, but I'm a newb I just need to figure out how I'm going to boil the second batch when the time comes. I'm upstairs in a small condo I'm renting and done...

I have no clue. The worst part is I'm renting a condo. Otherwise I'd just replace the stove with something more powerful. My pots bottom is completely flat

Hi, I'm new here and figured I'd say hello and thank you for all the wonderful advice on this site. I've been lurking for a while now reading and reading some more. Today, I started my first batch of beer (black IPA extract brew) and have been waiting over 2 hours for the 3 gallons of water...
