Just finished cooking up my first batch of home brew, and during the boil I boiled over just a little bit. Now there's this dark black burned stuff all over my stove that does not want to come off. Any ideas on cleaners to use?
Thanks!

What type of stove do you have? Is it a ceramic glass cooktop?– hartskiCommented Dec 30, 2012 at 13:13

It's probably caramelized sugars. It will dissolve in water, given enough time. If your stove top is a shape that will allow this, put some warm water on top of the stains, and leave it there four an hour or two, or even overnight. Otherwise, saturate a dish cloth with warm water and place it on top of the stain. Again, leave it for a few hours before scrubbing.

A slightly stronger than normal PBW solution (or whatever cleanser you use for cleaning your brew equipment) will be all that's needed. Plus some time and elbow grease.
I used brillo pads and some elbow grease. Just be careful not to scrub too hard or you might remove some paint. This has worked an every stove I have. Using some hot water doesn't hurt either.
