I've done 2 late extract batches recently and they have been a pain in the ass cause i have a weak stove, it take half hour to get it boiling and once i take it off to add the rest of the extract half way through (or so) it takes like another 25 to get boiling again.
So why not pre-dissolve the LME/DME in a smaller pot with like .5 gal of water and then just pour that into the wort. I figure if its already half way dissolved it should clump or get scortched so i'd be able to leave the pot on the stove and keep boiling. Even if i have to take it off i think it'll be fast to pour the extract in there once its half dissolved then the slow as hell pour/mix i do now.
