I just did a 8 gallon batch running at 9 PSIG, although my normal is 13 gallon batches (at higher pressure). You only need a lot of power (energy per unit time) for raising the temperature of the water, once you are boiling the water will get no hotter and you need minimal heat input to keep a...

I would just get a variable regulator, just like the type you might use for a C02 bottle. I put together a regulator with random fittings I had which allows me anything from 1-100 PSI. You won't need a high side pressure gauge (you can plug this hole on most regulators), just a low side gauge...

Well I do ~13 gallons batches, so I've bought these burners to be able to heat water for the mash quickly and come to a boil afterwards in short time. 170,000 BTU/hour is way overkill, I agree. It's only ~20k BTU to bring 50 degree water to a boil, so assuming 40% efficiency of the burner and...

Hi guys, I'm making a 3 tier system. I already have keggles I've been using and I bought 3 of these burners: http://www.agrisupplyco.com/cgi-bin/cgiitmls?m=ThisP&p=30295.000000&l=1 I was wondering if anyone knew the best distance between the burner and keg. I think these burners are...

You can also silver solder fittings. In the old days, most SS was silver soldered and not welded. I did this with my keggles.
