Switched from doing small batches on my stove to full sized batches on a burner about 6 months ago, and I can not seem to stop getting boil overs. I have done six 5 gallon batches now, and I keep boiling over out of a 15 gallon converted keg. I never once had this problem on the gas stove in my kitchen. I am dealing with about 8 gallons of liquid because I lose so much to evaporation (another problem I can't seem to solve). Maybe it's just something stupid I am doing? Any suggestions?
I have tried
- turning the heat down as far as I can get it during the boil without the flame dying
- adding the extract earlier when the water is cooler.
- skimming the foam off constantly with a spoon.
Thanks.
