Looks like tomorrow will be brew day number 1.

Got an entire Sunday off with nothing to do, so you know what? I am going to brew.

Only real sticking point is that all heating of water is being done with an electric range. Probably have to pre-boil water in the 6-quart pan and pour it into the 7 gallon pot to bring it to a rolling boil.

DID I MENTION MY NEW POT

You should be fine boiling on electric, I use it for all my extract 3 gal boils. Just remember not to add all your DME/LME at the beginning of the boil. Add it gradually for better hop utilization and lighter color.

No need to do a full boil.

I have a 5.5 gallon pot I use on an electric stovetop and it works fine. There's no problem getting a full boil...it just takes some time. I've found putting some aluminum foil around the burner helps protect the stove's enamel finish by the way.

Have fun! I do full boils on gas, but there's lots of people doing boils on electric stoves. Check out this thread for advice: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/improved-boiling-stovetop-53683/

If it's a glass top you may run into a few issues trying to get a rolling boil.
