I always use cold water from the sink so it hasn't gone through my Hot water heater.. I remember from somewhere, maybe my salt water aquarium days, that there is a fair amount of corrosion and sediment in the hot water heater and the profile is much cleaner coming from the cold side... Just a thought.

I got four out of my last tank with a hurricane burner. I am still planning on building a heat shield out of aluminum flashing so I might be able to stretch it further. I heat the strike water, sparge water and boil on the hurricane, generally 60 minutes and five gallon batches.

Glad to see the tip on setting the tank in warm water to squeeze out the last few drops. I generally end up shaking my tank when the pressure dies down and that helps quite a bit.

I get about 5 - 6 out of the SQ14. 75 minutes boils - 5g batches. I only use it for the boil. Heating the strike and sparge water is done on the kitchen stove where the cost comes out of the household as opposed to the brewing budget.

I can only safely get two batches out of my propane tank hooked up to some generic trukey fryer burner. With two five gallon batches I did a 90 minute boil, 60 minute boil, heated the appropriate amount of water and a handful of grilling sessions.

I get 6-7 out of mine but I get all of my strike from the hot side of my sink and bring it up on my stove so that saves propane/money.
