I'm using my gas burner and 30L pot for the first time today. Thought I'd do an extract weissbier first as I fancied a quick and easy brew day.
Well that was the plan. Got it all set up and going with the full boil volume, 20L. After 40mins it didn't look like boiling ever. Moved it all into the shed and it's fine, think it's too windy outside so was losing too much heat.
Anyway, after a near boil over while adding extract which resulted in a panic and a fair amount of extract on the shed and burner, it's all going nicelly now.
Hallertau mittelfruh hops and wheat extract with a proper yeast, smack pack, not used before so we'll see how that goes.
It's been eventful at any rate. Brew on!
