Hey all,
I've brewed about 5 extract batches and slowly become better at it, but its time to upgrade my equipment. I currently do have a fermentation chamber, so I've got that part covered, so now I'm looking at a few other things, but I'd like some opinions from those with more experience. Here is what I'm planning to get:
1. Better quality/larger brew kettle 8/10 gallon.
Now it gets interesting...it either one of these options with the kettle:
a wort chiller OR
a propane burner.
OR get both?? If they're both worth it.
I currently have a gas range in our kitchen we use. I do want to start doing full wort boils, and play with mini mash in the future. If I could only get the wort chiller or the burner..which would you get and why? Which one has a bigger impact on the beer? Is it more important to bring the wort to a boil faster? Or do pitching temp quicker?
Thanks for any advice! I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
