Propane is heavier than air. It WILL settle to the floor creating a nice explosive mixture/cloud. Under no circumstances should it be used in a basement and definately not in an area not WELL ventilated. An open garage door may or may not provide adequate ventilation. Cross ventilation is best...
I am getting ready to build a new system. I have been making 5 gal batches so far. My question is this. I have picked up a double wall stainless vessel that I am considering for a mash tun. According to the dimensions, I fugure it it will hold about 11 gallons. Will this be enough for 10 gallon...
I don't think you will want to pump really hot liquid through the hose you have shown. I don't think it is up to the 200 deg. range so pumping the boiling or recently boiled wort through it may be a problem. It should work just fine for mash temps but the high temp silicone is what you want for...
I am getting ready to make my first oatmeal stout and have a couple of questions.

I have a 7 1/2 stainless turkey fryer. It is what I started with though I have since switched to a keggle.
I boiled 6 1/2 gallon batches in the turkey fryer with no problem but you do have to watch for boil overs especially at the start of the boil and when adding hops. I just lifted mine off...
Well mine doesn't brew, but she puts up with me.
I can't boil in the house anymore but thats alright I moved it all out to the shop.
She thinks I have gone over the edge and now she's taken to calling me Hoppy.
All is good though, I'm still brewing!
Lived there about a million years ago, seems like it sometimes anyway. Actually lived all over northern Cal while growing up. Arcata, Eureka, Boonville Chico and some I don't remember. I'm in Okla now, what a change!
I'll chat later.
