    Yes one more Brutus Custom Debacle :-)

    Hazard, According to Amazon the bg-14's weigh 13 pounds which sounds about right but it does feel like they weigh more:).

    Klaude: Drilled out the orifices to a drill size of 44 or.0860 decimal equivalent, and the burners perform much better now! I went from heating 12 gal of water in 11 minutes to 12 gallons in just under 7! A Kw increase from 2.4 to 4.6 (est)!! Thanks for the tip!! Gracho: Thanks for the...

    Transferring wort to fermenter, filter clogging
