amber ale

[user 45423]

I've finally gotten back into homebrewing lately, and have brewed up the two best batches of beers I've ever made (amazing what a couple of years not brewing but reading about it will do for that!). I am almost ready to move outdoors, but won't be able to afford the equipment until probably November. I've been doing full 5 gallon boils on my electric (glass top) stove in my relatively light-weight polarware kettle with excellent results (had always partial-boiled before). I had heard somewhere, though, either on the forums or on some other site, that boiling large amounts like this on a kitchen stove was an excellent way to destroy your stove. I think the guy's quote was something like 'every batch you do, you're closer to blowing out your stove' or something to that effect. Does anyone have any insight on this? I'd like to get 2-3 batches in before fall (I've got an awesome-looking Octoberfest Dunkelweizen I want to try) but i don't wanna risk doing serious damage as we really, REALLY can't afford appliances right now (or a divorce). Any thouhts?

But the name John Boston has also been reborn, and
now adorns a new beer launched by The Wine Society in
Sydney in late October 2009, as that organisation’s first dip
into the amber fluid.
