Hi folks
I have a new boiler - standard build from a 50 ltr SS stock pot - couple of 3kw elements and a hop strainer. Now, a while back I had a problem with my burco boiler - the element cover came off in the boil and when I put in the IC, it squashed hops onto the elements ruining the wort - burnt taste that wouldn't go.
So the question to all of you who have exposed elements... how do you protect them from the IC?
Hope that makes sense?
