Very nice build!

Yes, There is a back rail it sits on and two supports mid-span

place the propane bottle on top the burner

Front Panel Express

There are a fortunate few (me included) that have the full backing of their significant other. :rockin:

the efficiency change will more than likely be negligible

hmm... looks like someone has controls and instrumentation experience they look just as good as the professional drawings I've worked with

Why 3 burners: 3 burners are used for the following applications: HERMS Direct Fired RIMS E-RIMS tube with burner fallback Most E-RIMS systems do not have a third burner.

The flow switch I posted a photo of is a simple plunger with magnetic pickup. The challenge with that design is the spring tension is a little high for the 8 Series March pumps but works great with the AC5 series. Note the lackluster performance. This is with a March series 8 pump

ChuckO, that makes total sense. We've never found need to restrict the flow, have you implemented this method? What type of flow sensor are you using?

actually the valve is for just the opposite: reduce flow to increase heat if not getting hot enough. We place a temperature probe on the outlet side of the tube and a second probe in the mash tun about mid grist level. The 2 temperatures can be averaged if you have BCS or PLC system.

ahh, Stout RIMS tube. The longer the wort stays in the tube, the hotter it will get if the element is on, thus the use of a valve. Photo is one of our units using an electric RIMS tube. The element only comes on as needed which isn't that often. Be sure to have an inline flow switch to...

I guess that wasn't very clear. A valve after the heating element and before re-entering the kettle. Control the flow with this valve. I've never needed one but that is how it would be done.

The batch size is not the determining factor. The diameter of the RIMS tube and the volume of wort being pumped through are. If you are using a 1.5" tube and a March 8 series pump, 1500 watts is correct. If you are not getting enough heat you can also throttle the out port.

we don't allow that kind of language in our home... or any other pisswater beers for that matter

She soaked the hops for several hours in vodka and then filtered the vodka multiple times. The hops were then boiled with water to make a bittering extract. dunno what BMC is (I can only assume you are referring to yellow fizzy beer) I'll have to ask someone who actually buys/drinks that stuff...

My wife made me a collection of hop extracts for flavoring beers. (she had already tried tea bags for infusing). It only took a small amount to really pump up the aroma and flavor. Here is her comments: "6 varietal extracts made with cold vodka so aroma and flavor are not destroyed...
