I too have a glasstop stove and refuse to use it for the same reasons. I settled with buying a canopy for outside and an outdoor burner and since making the switch everything has worked great!
DGibb said:I have a lot of difficulty reaching a boil with 2.5 gallons of water on my glass cooktop. I can't afford turkey fryers right now (between jobs), so would it be possible to split the boil in to two separate boils with half ingredients?
On a normal partial boil of 2.5gal with 6lb DME, 1.5oz hops, and spices, how would the profile change with two separate boils of 1.25gal, 3lb Amber DME, 0.75oz hops, and halved spices?
I would love to get my Holiday ale brewed this weekend, but the boil difficulty really hurts my pipeline.
The bridged side is narrower but alot longer, really for more of a large oval pot.
I say for full extract brewers it's ok to leave the lid on during the boil because all the DMS is boiled off during the manufacturing process
I believe this is incorrect Ed. My understanding is that in the manufacture of DME and LME the wort is not boiled before being dried(DME) or concentrated(LME).

I guess it would depend on the manufacturers process
