I've been brewing for a while and typically do boils that start anywhere from 6.5 to 7.5 gals. I've been borrowing a burner from a buddy, but need to get my own.

Any recs? I figured something from Bayou Classic, but I see they dropped to 10psi regs. Any ideas if the SP-10 or SQ-14 are still worth it, given that psi drop?

Any other recommendations? I'm all ears. Thanks!

I have the SP10, works great. I don't think you'll be able to find a propane burner - even the cheaper ones - that won't boil 6.5-7.5 gallons of wort. The difference might be build quality and endurance. The $150 Blichmann burner made of stainless steel will last forever, and you can beat the crap out of it. The $50 burner from bayou might start flaking or get beat up a bit. If you're going to be brewing every weekend, maybe spend some cash and get a higher quality burner - but if you brew every month, every 3 weeks or so ... just get the cheaper ones. You won't have any problems with the boil.

Meh.....I dont care about materials. Most of them are made of iron, and flaking or no flaking, they WORK...period.

My main concern is efficiency (I'm getting 3-4 brews, including sparge and mash heating, per tank), so I don't want to go to something that's wasteful. At the same time, I don't wanna increase my brew times. My main concern was the fact that they dropped the regs to 10psi from 20.

I have a Brinkmann turkey fryer and a Bayou Classic SP10. The fryer is slow and the SP10 on my boil kettle is fast enough that I have to be really careful not to have a boil over. I do 5 gallon in 10 gallon pots.

I've been using the SQ-14 for over a year now. It's a solid build, is great for keggles, and I believe it is more efficient than the SP-10. I believe people go through more propane using the SP-10.

My Brinkmann is similar. It does not have the straining basket. But it cost only ~ $50 new at Home Depot.

Thanks, but I only need a burner. I've got all other equipment (stainless steel brewpot, aluminum kettle for mash/sparge heating, etc).

how so? they come with the same 20 psi regulator
the sp10 works better for me on concrete where the sq14 wobbles slightly
ive alsways enjoyed tri-legged instead of the normal 4.
