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 to boil on my crappy GE glass stovetop. This is horrible, and has subsequently made me read this forum some more while I wait. So, I guess I'll be making a "heat stick" for my next batch because this is ridiculous.
Heck, it took 70 minutes before I could remove my steeping grains alone. I just hope this amount of time doesn't ruin my future beer.
I expected to be do e already, and this is seriously cutting into my day. It's ok, I guess, but I was planning on doing something other than watching my pot for three hours...
