I brew in my kitchen year round. Water, stove and plenty of room to brew.
that poor dog and his frozen chin!
Any chance you can switch over to natural gas? It would be a lot safer.
That's what I'm wondering. I have a friend that has natural gas coming into the garage, so we could hook a burner up to that. Are there high pressure burners that are made to run off natural gas?
What about setting the burner up outside, not too far from the basement door? Nothing to keep you from mashing in the basement. Keep boiling outside, but set up your burner so you can watch it from inside the doorway so you can stay out of the wind.
Besides, you're in Jersey, not Anchorage. I know it gets cold, but... c'mon. There are always those nice days even in February when it's sunny and not too windy, just put on your long underpants and an extra pair of socks and suck it up. I'd rather brew in 10° weather than 90°!
So you're the second one to mention drilling out a propane burner to fit it to natural gas. I guess I'd have to look at the two to see how this works.I modified a propane burner a large diameter low pressure style actually works better now then it ever did before but it is on the verge of too much gas / oxygen ratio I used 1/8 inch drill bit I was worried but figured screw it my natural gas line is 12" from my brewing area. If you keep looking I'm sure youll find someone with far better explanation than me but if I can help I sure will.
