Curently i have several vessels and i am alway changing my All Grain brewing. I guess i just like to mess around building stuff and tryin new things, ( and wasting money aparently ).
Anyway. I have 2, 10 gallon stainless pots. One i use as my hot liqour tank, the other i use as my boil kettle. i have a converted 5 gal cooler i use as mash tun. I also have an 8 gal electric kettle that i use RIMS style once in a while as my MLT. i have 2 propane burners - the 185,000 BTU bayou stands. They put out a lot of heat quickly.
I was thinking of going to a direct fire rims set up where i would add a 3rd burner and a 3rd 10 gal brew pot. I'm not sure why exactly i want to do this, other than asthetics (having all similar containers) and more pumping of the wort volume.
First, should i move to the direct fired system or just keep the systems i have. Second, if i do move to a direct fired setup should i do it rims style so i am always recircing my wort through the grains. and third, Would i want a less agressive burner? i heard some people say that the bayou burners are too powerful and not good for control.
