This is probably a dumb question, but for all you guys who have electric kettles, do you get cold areas under the element or does the rolling boil even everything out? I have a 2400w element in my HLT and have to recirculate the water in it to keep it at a constant temp as the water under the element doesn't heat up. I would imagine that the action of a rolling boil would mix the wort up and stop any cold areas for appearing, but as i plan to use a 2400w element in a (very well insulated) 50lt keg, I'm scared that the rolling boil won't be vigorous enough to properly mix the whole wort, resulting in an area at the bottom of the keg that isn't boiled/sterilised. Can anyone put my fears to rest?
