Ok, so I've taken the advice from tnlandsailor and bought a reconditioned sanke keg from sabco to use as a brew kettle (i also bought the s/s ball valve and thermometer to go with it). I expect it to arrive next week, but I still don't have a burner (obviously, I'm not brewing with this baby on the stove). I searched through older posts concerning burners, hoping to find things out about BTU ratings, etc. Between reading older posts and my back issues of BYO, words like ventilation , illegal , outdoors , etc., began appearing more and more, which leads me to these questions:
What's a good BTU rating to use with these keg kettle (I'm still only doing 5 gallon batches--not enough bottles yet to double up and no keg system yet, either)
What's the story on using something like this inside? I live in an apartment, but there is a HUGE amount of space in my kitchen (with nothing in or around said space) that is next to two huge windows. I have a small patio, but fire marshall laws prevent the use of grills on them, so I'm sure I'd be toast if I tried to brew out there
HELP! I NEED SOME GUIDANCE!!!
