Ok, granted I am not drunk, I just figured this would be the best place to post as it is a random rambling...
I posted a picture of the brew rig design I am going to start building in a week and a half on my facebook account. Long story short, someone thought that one of the images looked like a delorian so, out of pure boredom I decided to do some math....
The Flux-Capacitor needs 1.21 GiggaWatts
Out of a normal car we get:
1.21gw = 1,210,000,000 watts @ 13.5vdc (normal car battery) = 89629629.63 Amps
In Brewing Terms that is:
1 kW is 3,413 BTUs. Therefore, 1.21 GiggaWatts = 1,210,000,000 x 3.413 BTU/W = 412973000 BTUs Enough to bring a 100,000 Barrel Batch of beer from Mash-out temp to boil in 17 minutes. And at only... $41,140 (@ 12 cents per kW/hr[my cost])
Like I said, I was bored
