My Wort's Been On The Stove For 4 And A Half Hours Now...

[maxymoo]

the big front burner (which is pretty crap to start with) on my crappy 1960's electric stove conked out half an hour in, so now i'm chugging away at 85C on the back burners, hopefully i'll be boiled down to my target volume by 10 tonight...

Nip out to bunnings for a small $20 camp stove?

that's a good idea! i've wanted one for a while but always thought they would be heaps more expensive than that?!

Make sure youre barley is malted

 

[Maheel]

is there hops in it ?

Without getting at least a rolling boil, it's not going to be ideal, even if you do manage to drop the volume by letting it sit for 5 hours at 85C.
DMS, hop utalization and all those things will be issues without a decent boil.

Yes. They had some unmalted barley and wondered why OG was so low.

I think he might have been referring to the hops comment

if you can't get a rolling boil off your burner float an aluminium Take away tray in the wort, it'll decrease the surface area in the simmering wort and help you get a rolling boil. not a permanent solution but could help for tonight.

Possibly.

Good luck to them if that's the case.

Something to tell the kids: ' I made some homebrew guys on the internet answer my questions like I meant them. They were dumb questions too!!
