Edwort, Nice propane stand you have their. Looks like stainless steel. Can you tell me what brand or make it is, how long it takes to bring a pot of 7 gallon cold water to a boil, and your overall opion of it. Thanks

Or, you could remove the trub (pronounced troob for the next argument thread), which keeps the heat in the wort like a lid and causes most boilovers (w/excessive burner heat). If you're vigilant and remove this as it forms during the hot break, no boilover.

An easier way is to turn off the burner off and then turn it back on 5 seconds later. For some reason the pot will only boil over once. This realy works and it's fast!

Or you could say it like the Germans, whose word it is.

Nahhh. Too much work, and it confuses the locals.

Actually, it's pronounced "wirt" (rhymes with dirt).  EdWort is the man. If he says something, it's gospel.

[wksun]

you can say it either way

[im1dermike]

It's pronounced "wert"...
