Hi,
We're using a bayou burner (Example Here) and noticing that it uses a lot of propane (normal 15# tanks). I haven't started weighing our usage with each batch, but I intend to. I'm judging this based on the usage reported in some of the Brutus Herms threads of 3 10g batches per tank. We are getting perhaps a bit more than 2 5gal batches per tank. But without weighing, it's tough to be exact (yeah, yeah, this would be better with hard numbers, I agree).
I think it's the flame adjustment. A bit of yellow on top but mostly blue. So that's nearly impossible to control with the little spinning air vent. Is this a problem with the burner in general? Or are we just bad at this?
OMG, will this ruin my beer? (just kidding)
Thanks in advance,
Luke
