Hello all,
I'm using a kitchen stove for boiling wort because of a late work schedule during dark winter months. Usually I use propane outdoors. Anyway, I've been reading about DMS that dissipates from wort during the boil. Since my stovetop doesnt seem to hold a rolling boil without the lid on, I'm trying to think of ways to prevent that DMS steam from condensing on the lid and dripping right back into the wort.
Right now, I'm doing an experimental batch with a towel underneath the kettle lid. That way, my wort stays hot and boiling. Also, I periodically move the damp towel so that a new dry spot lays under the lid. As I rotate these towels over the course of the boil, I'm hoping that each new dry towel is able to absorb steam and DMS within the steam.
Has anyone tried this method before? Any doubters? Any hopers? I'll check in in a week or two when I can taste a sample to see if a lot of DMS is present.
PEACE
