Thats the same one I have, but the box and instruction book says its a 220,000 btu burner. Hmmm, must be a different regulator on mine.

I'm proud to say I have a gas guzzling 220,000 btu burner in my garage, do you need it? Maybe, if your doing 10gal batches or larger. Its awesome for heating a lot of volume within minutes.

Thanks, Dr. Malt

a little off topic but flaked barley related. I'm gonna be brewing an IPA tomorrow and the recipe calls for 8oz of flaked wheat but they had none, so the LHBS guy recommended me to use 8oz of flaked barley instead. What do you guys think will become of this IPA, as far as color, taste, etc...

IM sorry what is Zest?

So for a 5gal batch of Wheat, how much of a orange peel are we talking about? half an orange, baseball sized? sounds tasty, I would like to try this this coming weekend. Cheers, Scott.

Is Oxyclean good for plastic carboys?

Yeah its a new coil, bent it myself. I aquired 100' of 1/2" copper from work so I bent up a nice 50' coil. This unit is gonna cool that wort in no time. WOO HOO!!! thanks for all the tips guys. Cheers.
