Don't have many problems with my gas stove heating the water quickly, my girlfriend does not cook so the kitchen belongs to me as the only person who cooks...

Thanks, I'll have to check that out when it comes around to my local beer store.

Sort of off topic question but I didn't want to start a new topic to ask it: I've noticed a lot of people using propane burners instead of their stoves is there a reason for this? I've been using my stove...

I'm in the process of doing a chocolate cherry porter, things I have observed are: -Cherries in the primary can cause fermenter explosions(fresh cherries and canned cherries with do this at different speeds as well, fresh cherries will blow up between 8-16 hours and canned will do so anywhere...
