How long does it take you to get your wort to a rolling boil?
What equipment do you use?

What do you reckon to this. 9kw. standard sing ring burnrs seem to me aroun 5.5kw

Can't believe I managed to find this thread on the first try. Anyways, I finally remembered to time things last weekend. I collected exactly 7g of wort via batch sparging into my 7.5g ss pot. I was mashing at 150F and sparging at 170F in pretty quick succession, so the wort was plenty warm when I kicked the turkey fryer off, just guessing 140-150F.ScottT said:Guys, put a timer on your kettle next time you start to boil.

I'll have to wait for actual brew day (soon) to get actual times.

I just crank it...if the turkey fryer glows cherry red that's even better. Usually it sounds like I'm on the deck of an aircraft carrier (or what I imagine it might sound like).Rhoobarb said:But I don't crank the propane burner way up to '11'! I have it at about 80% b/c I'm a very cautious person.
