So, I have been working on my brew sculpture as of late and have come to the point where its time to do some plumbing with my gas system (propane). I have been looking rather hard at what type of burners to use and I have pretty much settled on using either 3 - 23 tip jet burners. They are 60,000 to 160,000 btu rating or 32 - tip ones with the same btu output. Im sure that most will answer that the 32 tips will be better, more fire, faster boils and so on. I get this but I was wondering has anyone used the 23 tip ones and have they been adequate for your needs? Obviously if I can get away with the 23's they would be a little cheaper and possibly more efficient for my needs.
The setup to date is using 3 - 20 gallon kettles, hlt, mt, & bk gravity fed. I will probably be doing 10 gallon batches for the most part with the occasional 5 & 15. The most important thing at this point is: What spacing are you guys using in between the burners and your kettles? I am almost inclined to do an adjustable setup on my burners but that will take a lot more time yada yada.
The next inquiry is about regulation - I have been looking into various low pressure regulators for the application and I am looking for one that has good adjustment properties, pre-plumbed so to speak with about 2 foot of line already so I dont have to take additional time or worry about chasing down fitting leaks and so forth.
So with all that being said, Im hoping to hear some great input! Looks like it will be a great weekend to grab a couple of cold homebrews with your buds, sit back, relax and let fall take over!
