    Blichmann Top Tier Burner Review

    Chiming in on this one. I got mine a month back on Craigslist for about $100 from a fellow brewer. Was supposedly only used a hand full of times and while hard to verify , it looked pretty new. Its just an amazing burner. I cant even imagine now using something else. The control of the gas...

    Losing Heat with Reflectix

    Mine is a Blichman 2". I didnt think of this being possibility, but I should have because i've read about many using the 6" probe for Mash to get a better sample of the grain in the middle. I was thinking of pre-heating then slippipng the reflectix back over the tun (i made it so its snug...

    Losing Heat with Reflectix

    Ok so I just recently decided to try the reflectix wrap for a no fire MLT. I did as i've read on forums, I wrapped it 4 times and even made a nice cap. I then did a test with only 150 deg water. I have a lid between the reflectix cap too. It lost 8 degrees in about an hour on a 70 degree...

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Oh man I dont know how you keep up with 3 batches going...but i'm impressed! Love the set up. Regarding the weldless strut - i had not thought of that. Assume a home depot/lowes type item...i may eventually design a new table like this

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    thats what i was afraid of. thats not mine. Mine has a single hole and creates one conical flame. It literally looks like a fighter jet engine with afterburners on. In the pic you see the gas nut at the bottom - it has one small hole. Outside of efficiency it also gets blown out with even...

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Ok but for the mash strike, you mean start at 180 or wherever i need to be in order to achieve my mash temp once the grain is added, then pump or gravity from the hot tank to the mlt? Sorry for all the newb questions guys...definitely going to run a test before i start

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Good to know - but to be sure - you mean the single jet burner right - like i pictured with just the single flame tube. not the multiple nozzle jets.

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Ok Canadian winters and you were fine? That makes me feel much better i'm down in the Midwest Kansas City and while we do get some cold winters it will not be like that for several months, so I should be ok. I can use the stand jet burner i guess im just sure i'll need a ton more propane...

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    thats good to hear i really didnt want to figure out the whole leaving gap thing. but no heat right? no flame at all or it melts i hear that would be messy

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Useful information - thank you. Yea i was trying to figure based on 1 pump to start. But two i dont know. And i wondered on the gravity feed. I plan on testing all once i get my valves in the next day or two

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    great thanks! so do i need put some on the top...that seems to stand to reason where heat might escape. Also read somewhere reflectix works best 'reflecting heat'. To do this, you need to wrap so its got a small gap between the kettle wall and the layer of insulation. This was being...

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Thanks and very helpful to hear how you do it. Wow, 2x10 gallon at a time sounds challenging considering i've never done one (10 gallon batch). What is a 'mini-brew'? Considered a cube cooler but i have a mash screen/pick up set already in the middle keg. Thanks again

    New 3 Keggle Setup Question

    Hey All I am looking for some advice on a new 3 keggle set up i've been working on and am now very close to completing. Long term I plan to go with Brutus 10 type single level set up with a pump. Currently I have this angle iron table I got from a family member modified slightly, and it...
