Ok guys. I just finished my 2nd batch since going back to extract brewing. I forgot to turn the burner off when I added the extract and some scorched on the bottom of the pot. I'm pretty sure this is still going to turn into a good beer but was wondering what impact, if any, the burning would have on the flavor of the finished beer. I'm sure someone else has done this in the past.

It depends on how much scorching happened & how long it boiled afterwards. I've tasted beers where it's obvious and I'm sure I've tasted slightly scorched beers where it went unnoticed. Sometimes it'll come off as a smoky flavor—well, I've noticed this when I scorched a mash a bit during a temperature ramp.

I hope it was just a bit of scorching. Burnt sugar ain't the greatest flavor of all time.

Well it wasn't just a little bit I wouldn't say. I'm still soaking the kettle because there is black on the bottom. Maybe since it's an 1.100 doppelbock the alcohol will cover it up some. :)
