Every time I brew, my beer turns out darker than expected. I am assuming that maybe I am scorching the wort. It doesn't taste scorched but it always turns out darker than it should. I usually start out with 6.5 to 7 gallons. I boil on my stove. I put the brew pot over two elements and turn them up to high. I achieve a good boil in about 30 - 45 min. I have a fairly cheap brew pot that has a thin bottom. I want to know if you guys think if is the thin bottom of my brew pot or using my stove to boil that is causing this. I am considering going with a propane burner but wonder if i also need to upgrade my kettle. Maybe if is something else that is causing the beer to turn out darker.
