    Open a window leave the door ajar put a fan in the window. If the burner has a good blue flame you should be good! The time frame for a boil is not enough to fill a room with CO if your worried get a detector. Just make sure Fresh air is entering the room!

    Lager kit problem

    Getting rid of heat is more of an issue than gaining it! You can put a blankie on it and stick a light bulb in it, on a timer to gain heat. Stick a thermometer in it and check what the interval should be that will retain the temp you need. That enclosed space is not that hard to heat with a...

    Who's using their 14,000 BTU stove burner?

    All I can add to this is a watched pot never boils! So don't put your watch in the pot! In all seriousness, cover with a lid to bring boil faster. The vapor you see rising from the pot is just heat out the window!

    Copper choice for Immersion Chiller

    Cooling effect will depend on 3 things amount of coils and diameter of coils, and temp of water to cool with! 3/8 dia seems a little weak! I have seen a few pics of coils and most look like 5/16 dia. You mentioned ground water @ 80 degrees if so then there is not much cooling there.

    Thermometer reading in Celcius

    Hi, Thank you for your question! I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem with this thermometer. I checked with the manufacturer on this, and this unit does not read in Celsius, it only reads in Fahrenheit. So, if it is showing a Celsius reading, than, something internally has been...

    How do I flame bottlenecks and what does it really meant to achieve?

    If it is that big of an issue why not sanitize the bottles and caps and just cap the bottles till bottle time? You said they were plastic so I would venture you have screw on caps.
