Think i could get a 10psi regulator and boost the darkstar up a little?

Ive tried that and no changes were seen

Mine says 5psi... Whatever the issue, it isnt right.

Was about upper 70s slight wind, but barely moving the leaves on the trees. Its a regular keg 15 gallons.

Theres always blue flames coming out of the burner. If i open the damper fully, it sounds like a jet engine and the flames are about 1/2" above the burner. Closed as much as possible and the flames are blue but orange at the kettle.

Its a new tank. What am i looking for with the damper adjustments?

I lost a little over a 1/4 gallon just getting it to a boil.

I think I need a bigger burner.... Took the lid off and it slows down. Dont know if itll do a nice boil with the lid off

2 hours 20 min to get to a boil.

So I've got my new BIAB setup almost finished. I am boiling water in my keggle with a Darkstar 2.0 just to see how long itll take. So i started with 8 gallons of 62° water. Im an hour and 45 minutes in and its just about 200°. I feel it should be a bit quicker than this... Any tips or ideas?

Great idea with the hacksaw! Think I'll make another this weekend. Ive got a good chunk of pipe left. Thanks! Yeah, I tried etching a scrap piece last night the cheap way you etch S.S. and it didnt work much at all, so I knew I had to think of a better way. [emoji482]

I just finished my DIY sighttube and its not too bad. I could've done better had I had a dremel and a little patience. But all in all, it'll do what it needs to. Its a polycarbonate plastic tube with a compression fitting in the T. Then I used a 1/2 copper pipe and sliced it down the middle...

This seems pretty advanced for what I want to do

Ive got a newly installed sight glass, but now I want to slide a piece of copper piping over it and cut a 3/8" slit out of it the long way to be able to see the plasic pipe for the sight glass. I want to try etching volume markings in the copper the way people do to stainless with a qtip...

Asheville is an odd city for sure. Went there a few years ago, and yeah, the strange people make strange brews. My son calls it the "weird town" haha

Oh, the hobby has consumed me. [emoji12] Ive spent hundreds on equipment and whatnot. Ive got a brewpi controlled fermentation chamber that is very precise and accurate. I just needed to up my game in the brewing department. Thats why I'm switching to biab.

Im not planning a brew just yet, just getting everything lined up and figured out.

So.... The last video, im a bit confused. How do I know which mash profile to select? I made the 5 with temp increments of 2 degrees.

Im going to start biab soon and i have a keggle and a darkstar 2.0 burner. Will the burner be sufficient to boil 8 gallons? Or should I be saving for a bigger burner?

Right on. Thanks!
