The stove in my new apartment was a fluke, but with a couple immersion heaters I got better boils than I’ve ever had!

Is it 220V? Ever since using an induction burner on a boat I’ve been fantasizing about stove-and-oven-less kitchen.
Yup. Bigger kettle has 2kW and the smaller one is 1,5kW. The stove itself is also on at about 50% power.
But how bad is the washing?
Not nearly as bad as I thought. Mostly just some scale.
(those commercial beer makers often have exposed coils in the bottom, so it’s no worse than that.)
Was always on my list when I was still doing this. What kind of beer were you making?
It’s a simple pale ale with random hops from my parent’s yard. Trying out that hop was actually the reason why I got into homebrewing initially.
Are those hops good? Would you share a bit of rhizome for me to clone?
I can’t stop thinking that Finnish hops grown in chill weather might be a hidden treasure, once we figure out how to tune the recipes.
I like them for sure! It’s a rather traditional earthy profile with some citrus standing out, and not too much alpha.
No experience with rhizomes but looks easy enough. Yeah we can try that 👍🏻
That is quite the rolling boil you’ve got going on there. My stove definitely can’t do that.
I built a boil kettle from a beer keg with a 3500W hot water tank heater element. TIGged in a NPT bulkhead and the element screws into that. I was rather anal about the live ends on the outside of the kettle getting a liquid-tite connector, and it goes to a GFCI breaker.
